Today I sneaked into the theater with little children again.
Once I mentioned that many Belgian theatres tour the cultural centres around the whole country. So I started to pay more attention to some interesting shows which are being played not far from where I live.
Theater Tieret made recently a new show under the directing of Neville Tranter (Stuffed Puppets). I like Tieret and I like Tranter. So I went on a little trip to a small town Tielt and I went to the theater with maybe eighty kids not older than 5 years and their teachers. Being probably recognized as one of them.
Rimpelwals means something like a waltz of wrinkles. We meet a grandpa and his grandson and we follow some memories of the dear grandfather... who is somehow dieing in front of our eyes, and nicely poetically leaves the boy and us while dancing his last waltz...I've seen many grandfathers puppets, and many jokes with their teeth. But Rimpelwals is not dishonouring old people. And it is not underestimating those young kids watching the story. Above all I found it a very heartwarming story.
The tour of Theater Tieret's Rimpelwals continues in january in Netherlands, go and see and shed a tear...
