NTGent και Veenfabriek-Johan Simons
Ödön von Horváth, Kasimir and Karoline
“A ballad of the unemployed driver Kasimir and of his bride… a ballad full of silent sadness, softened by humour; or, at any rate, by the banal insight that ‘we all have to die one day’”. This is how Horváth describes Kasimir and Karoline, the play he wrote in 1932 in the midst of Germany’s political and economic crisis.
Johan Simons and Paul Koek – early co-directors of the legendary Theatergroep Hollandia – turn the dramatic folk romance by Ödön von Horváth, the poet playwright, into a sparkling piece of musical theatre which highlights the universality of its acerbic social criticism.
