450 years ago, Count Egmont was beheaded on Brussels’ Grand-Place. After his death, Egmont became a symbol of moderation and tolerance in turbulent and polarising times. The story of his life has inspired many people in subsequent generations and still shines today: this Egmont throws a critical light on our own era.

In this production, the text and music tell a fascinating and impartial tale of the historical facts from a contemporary perspective, with a nod in the direction of Goethe and Beethoven.
