Composer Daan Janssens, and director Fabrice Murgia zetten hun tanden in de existentiële thema’s uit de roman van Louis Paul Boon. De eenvoudige feiten worden drie maal na elkaar gepresenteerd, telkens door de ogen van een ander personage. Hierdoor krijgt de banale situatie een tragische gelaagdheid. Menuet portrays lonely people hovering between the normal and the abnormal, balancing between speaking and silence, weltering between shame and sexual desire.
“The novel Menuet by Louis Paul Boon is a musical work of art not only by its title. The form as well breathes music and dance. The translation by Daan Janssens and Fabrice Murgia to music theater follows that breath faithfully and subtly."
- Stephan Moens in De Morgen
“Composer Daan Janssens and director Fabrice Murgia transform Boons Menuet into an surreal opera trip.”
- Annemarie Peeters in De Standaard
