Writer Hendrik de Pecker cuts a myth with reality to create an intimate performance about fathers, struggle and the courage to stay soft in a harsh world. He tells the story of Telemachus, son of Odysseus. He is gentle, but struggles with the legacy of his absent father, a war hero. Parallel to this mythical fairy tale, we follow writer Henry's search for his own father. How do you learn to be a man if you have never had a father figure?

Ellen Goemans and Joep Hendrikx play parent and child in Als vader vechten is. Effortlessly they switch between realism and absurdism. As part of theatre company Het NUT, the duo takes you into the story together with Hendrik. Not as an audience, but as an accomplice. Het NUT is known for their unique mixes of documentary and fiction. In 2024, the group was named best theatre company of the year by NRC.
