In search of side characters from history, musical theatre collective Les Âmes Perdues delves into the 1544 Antwerps Liedboek.

 

"A schoon liedekens Boeck inden welcken ghy sult vinden Veelderhande liedekens Oude en nyeuwe Om droefheyt ende melancolie te verdrijuen," said Antwerp printer and publisher Jan Roelans.

 

Whether they found them? Perhaps.
Whether it will be a wild trip? A medieval yet postmodern performance? Along polyvalent struyckgewas, intoxicating beanenstaecken, berekens int leather and gansevederen, good musijcke and pubescent pagies?

Count on it!
