In the fall of 2026, Tom Lanoye brings his bestseller ReinAard himself to the play. A full-length verbal feat based
on ReinAard, his bestseller and own vision of the fox.

Balancing between the sublime and the banal, the witty and the cruel, booming Dutch and vulgar Dutch-English, but always swinging like hell. He needs nothing more than his voice, a bottle of water and a microphone.

That makes ReinAard - the solo a unique experience: a writer who measures himself with ancient personages and with the contemporary words he coined for them. A literary bird's-eye view with a fox as the protagonist - "a superior knave, whose ancient antics illustrate in astonishingly topical fashion how populism works," according to Humo. Or: how the lie still rules, albeit thanks to tasteful verses and cunning curses.
