Dood Paard: De Verse Tijd

Stage registration of the play by Dutch theatre group Dood Paard and the Flemish theatre group Toneelhuis. The two actors Mokhallad Rasem and Kuno Bakker conduct a series of dialogues about their relationship with each other and their environment. A quest of two wandering souls for common ground. Together, the conversations tell an overarching story about two men who, despite their differences, explore where their lives touch and enrich each other. Or where they might have to leave each other alone. In the candid conversation that arises around these differences, the public is invited to contribute ideas and determine their own position.

Directed by Jan Bosteels, Dood Paard: De Verse Tijd leans on a strong ensemble — Kuno Bakker, Mokhallad Rasem — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
