Michelle Martin, wife and accomplice of child rapist and murderer Marc Dutroux, is dubbed “the most hated woman in Belgium”. About to be released from prison after serving a 16-year sentence, news reports rehash the horrific events that shook the world in the early 1990s. This drama explodes on the stage with a tale of domestic violence that went undetected until it was too late. Based on Kristien Hemmerechts’ best-selling novel.

On the 19th of November, from 10am to 4pm, the 11th edition of A Taste Of Belgium take place at the foot of Table Mountain in Newlands, in the Belgian Residence at 29 Boshof Avenue.

Two beings, Betto and Jina appear in an unknown place. Are they clowns? Futuristic visitors? In dealing with their relationship crisis in public, they provide the audience with a mirror image by back-projecting a future social evolution onto the present, creating an entertaining dialogue in which the critical exposure of present-day society parallels the threatening disintegration of the couple’s lives. Flemish author, actor, and theatre-maker, Peter de Graef, is well known for his unchaining fantasy, without losing sight of his social commitment. Ingenious, humorous, and extravagant.
