Lunch in The Netherlands

Lunch is een verhaal vol passie, poëzie en pijn. Twee vreemden ontmoeten elkaar in een restaurant. De vrouw zit aan een tafeltje in een verlaten strandcafé. De man komt binnen, ziet haar en bevriest. Het is een heftige ontmoeting: op de vlucht voor hun eigen leegte raken ze verzeild in een explosieve paringsdans, waarna ze, iets minder leeg dan daarvoor, weer uit elkaar gaan.

Gespeeld door Mieneke Bakker en Bart Slegers. De regie is in handen van de jonge regisseur Annelore Kodde.

Its on in Heerlen from 27 Aug to 5 Sept. It will return over the next months. Click on the image for more details.
