Andromaque

Directed by Raven Ruëll and created by Belgian collective La Brute, Andromaque presents Racine’s complete text in a stripped-back staging that highlights the violence and beauty of the tragedy. Eight performers, including Raven Ruëll, Johan Heldenbergh and Colette Coutant, deliver a bare, rhythmic reading where desire, death and madness entwine and lead to mutual destruction. The austere approach and concentrated ensemble work amplify the emotional intensity of the classical language.
