Moeste weite wa da’k paas (L’Envers du décor)
is a comedy by the famous French playwright Florian Zeller, integrating common conversation with the secret thoughts of the characters. “If we do not always think what we say, do we always say what we think?”
The play, translated into Brussels dialect by Claude Lammens:
When Patrick announces to his friends Daniel and Isabel that he intends to introduce them to his new young girlfriend Emma, for whom he dropped his wife Laurence, also Isabel’s best friend, everyone agrees this is a good idea. Emma’s appearance strikes Daniel and Isabel like a bomb in their heads. Certainties turn into doubts, inducing frustration and jealousy. The evening of many truths…
“Moeste weite wa da’k paas” shows all the features of a good boulevard play. The focus is less on what is said than on what isn’t.
It is original as the public is the witness and the collector of the thoughts of the characters. The actors are permanently juggling with double intentions and meanings, thus creating a hilarious, cruel and amazing truth.
“L’envers du décor” was written by Zeller in 2017 for Daniel Auteuil and had its first in Le Grand Theatre in Aix en Provence. Up to last year, Auteuil performed the play with great success in the theaters of Paris.

Artistic vision
Our artistic strategy is already made obvious by our theatre company’s name:
“Brussels Volkstejoêter”
Brussels: We play in BRUSSELS DIALECT.
Volks (= Dutch for popular): We play for the people, for everybody. And that’s why we play things that unite people. What unites more than LAUGHTER, thanks to a hoot, a farce, a vaudeville, comedy, absurd or black comedy. In our humor, we always seek the underlaying vision, a wink to man and society.
Theater: theater stands or falls with THE ACTOR. That’s why our actors (most of them are top level amateurs) need to get all possible chances to fully develop their artistic skills (thanks to good coaching and support by the director, the scenographer, dresser, lighting engineer, playing educator…)
