Invited by youth theatre hetpaleis, Thomas Bellinck and Khalid Koujili El Yakoubi are collaborating on their first performance for a young audience.

Written by theatre maker and author Pieter De Buysser, 'De Bevrijding van het Edelhert' ('The Liberation of the Red Deer') paints an absurdly humorous and painfully recognisable picture of an Ardennes forest where not every animal is equally welcome. Where fences are being erected in a hurry and where providing assistance to undesirable animals is punishable by caging. 

​A beast fable about border policies and the criminalisation of solidarity for kids ages 9 and up.
