A play against preconceptions about Muslims

The Dutch director Adelheid Roosen is currently presenting 'The Veiled Monologues' in Brussels. This play adapts the 'Vagina Monologues' to the situation of Muslim women. Interviewed by Catherine Makereel, she explains why Muslim women are so little understood in Europe. "The image that we have been given of the Muslim world is completely crazy: it spans wife-beating men, 'A Thousand and One Nights' and Omar Sharif. This is no doubt partly due to the fact that the Arabs we know in Europe are those who came to find work here, often from the poorest and therefore least educated of backgrounds. ... In addition, Muslims concerned about preserving their identity have chosen to hang on to elements of their native culture such as the veil. But views of the Arab world are warped by prejudice."

A play that allows children to share their view of the world

Catherine Merkereel takes an interest in the play 'That Night Follows Day' on show in Brussels as part of the Festival des Arts that is currently being held there. "Tim Etchells, an Englishman, has actually directed fifteen children from the town of Ghent, aged 8 to 13, in order to change the conventional way we see education. For an hour, the young actors bear witness, with disturbing lucidity, to their vision of the world, with the words 'this is good, this is bad' applied like brushstrokes of a pointillist painting. ... If the surprise of this play lies in the contrast between the expected cute game and the adult discourse of these children, most remarkable is the metaphor it renders of the formatting of minds in society at large. Facing pervasive one-tracked thinking and dominant ideology, we are all children !"
