Silly musical theatre as an ode to imagination

In the new production by De Nwe Tijd and hetpaleis (1984, Doe de groeten aan de ganzen and Familie Grrr), we dive into the wonderful world of lies. We follow three young players who discover what lying is, what you can do with it, but also how you can get lost in lies. They are accompanied live by three musicians, while a bouncy castle grows with every lie told in the auditorium. Until it bursts.

LIEGEN is a story full of excitement, jokes and, above all, an “ode to imagination”. A performance that rushes through your stomach like a small roller coaster and gently embraces you at the end. Extremely suitable for children aged six and up who sometimes twist the truth.
