What is your home? Is it a house with a 't' in front of it? The place where you were born, where you live, where you have breakfast? Or is it a feeling inside? Can you be at home somewhere you don't live, thinking about je moeder, for example, or the cat lounging on the windowsill?

Atman has lost his way to his home. Along the way he meets the strangest, funniest and most exciting people and experiences the most incredible adventures. But will he find back what he is looking for?

Master storyteller Bart Moeyaert and composer Leonard Evers wrote the brand-new fairy-tale family opera Atman! about a little boy's search for his home. For Evers, music is the gateway to a limitless world, where he meets styles, personages and sometimes himself. With only one accordionist and one singer, he manages to bring this adventurous story to life. In this purity lies the power of Atman! 'I hope that the people in the audience will recognize something - a feeling - as if a light goes on somewhere.'

  • Atman! lasts approximately one hour and is sung and spoken in Dutch
  • Excluding consumption
  • Children must also be in possession of a ticket
