Louis Janssens is writing a new script in which confessions, declarations of love, thoughts, rejections and desires alternate with each other. It will be an almost poetic script in which short fragments follow and complement each other in a rhythmic fashion. The result is a kind of musical score that presents love in all of its aspects. A cinematic mosaic that takes the audience through various conversations, encounters, flashbacks and confrontations. The actors transform into different characters, genders, ages, and from leading roles to supporting roles. Throughout the performance, they seem to be searching more and more for who they are in relation to each other. They adapt more and more to each other. They become more and more themselves, and as a result, also more and more like each other.
Inspiration for the show comes from the life and work of German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. His dark, lonely, sexual and often theatrical imagery created a world of the imagination that Amour also wants to explore. But the work of writers such as Constance Debré and Tony Tulathimutte is also an important source of information. The idea is for Amour to be a show that dares to be brutal and raw as well as loving, naked and vulnerable. 
For Amour, Louis Janssens is putting together a diverse cast of seven queer actors. Together, they seem to become one body, speaking as one voice, in one breath, in one movement. The masculine, the feminine and everything in between constantly alternate. In this way, the actors become everyone’s husband and everyone’s wife. They play out the lives and suffering of all of us.
