De Geescht oder d’Mumm Séis

EN – To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the national poet Edmond de la Fontaine (commonly known as Dicks), the Théâtres de la Ville this year reveal a contemporary version of his most famous play, in a production by Jacques Schiltz. The author Samuel Hamen adds a new layer to the well-known ghost story Mumm Séis, bringing together past and present, nostalgia and irony, mixing acting, singing, orchestra and choir, based on a composition by Ivan Boumans. The play uses elements of science fiction, including a time-loop and time-travel, and thus creates a link between classic theatre and contemporary entertainment.
