Following Romeinse Tragedies, Ivo van Hove will take on yet another major play, Angels in America, a theatrical diptych about love, fear and hope.
America during the Reagan administration in the eighties. The politics are hard and cold. Aids is the new disease that strikes the gay community and is kept under wraps by the ultraconservative government. A group of New Yorkers unintentionally appear in one another’s lives. Their fears regarding life and death try to find a way out in an infection of dreams, hallucinations and lies.
Angels in America is a sensitive and complex portrait of a lost generation that stands up to a heartless world. The spectacle of world politics unfolds in the intimacy of a domestic drama.
