Brief aan D. met Dirk Roofthooft in mei in première

Op 11 mei vindt de première van de Nederlandstalige versie van Brief aan D. plaats in de Bourlaschouwburg. Dirk Roofthooft brengt een liefdesbrief van de Franse filosoof en journalist André Gorz aan zijn vrouw, uitermate intiem. Een greep uit de recensies van de Franstalige voorstelling in Théâtre National:

 

« The very great Flemish actor Dirk Roothooft, alone on stage, embodies this text, adding to the exactitude of the words all the gravity of the body and its physical emotions. He is perfect at rendering the tremors and faults of this speech, sometimes stumbling over a word in order to tell – in French – of a love that would defy even death itself. (...) More than just a love letter, André Gortz brings us a lesson about life, about humanity : what are we doing with our lives ? Are we paying enough attention to what is essential and the people we love ? » 

- Guy Duplat, La Libre Belgique, 29th September 2015

«It is impossible to remain untouched by the ardent beauty of this authentic text, a far cry from cheap romanticism. » - Mélanie Noiret, L’Echo, 25th September 2015

«Extremely sober, the staging disappears behind the text, as does Dirk Roothooft, who embodies with total humility a man who acknowledges that he became the man he was thanks to having D. at his side. Beautiful and strong. » - Catherine Makereel, Le Soir, 1st October 2015
