De Warme Winkel

De Warme Winkel, just last season in nona with the fantastic Myrte Siebinga zoekt een kamer, the best play about housing shortage ever shown in Mechelen, plunges into the work of poet siblings William and Dorothy Wordsworth, who wrote walking and wrote walking and elevated walking to a cultural act. These figureheads of English Romanticism were the discoverers of nature as an aesthetic phenomenon to be learned and enjoyed rather than something dangerous to be cut down.

But their nature is gone, their words old-fashioned and their romantic perspective too individualistic. Together, Princess Bangura and Vincent Rietveld create a new translation that will please everyone and everywhere. Awkward climate escapism that seeks through the detour of beauty to what we do it all for.
