About

What to expect

Dimitri Leue reworked Maurice Maeterlinck's text from the French into Dutch and directed the performance.

The description calls it a strange fairy tale for adults about a forbidden love affair, jealousy and melancholy.

In the story, the courtiers Pelléas and Golaud search a forest in vain for Mélisande.

Antoon Offeciers reworked Debussy's music, which is played live by Antoon Offeciers, Tim Vandenbergh and Karel De Backer.

Maeterlinck won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911, mainly for his plays.
