Een tijd van liefde
She grows up among paved front gardens and neatly trimmed hedges. He comes from dusty roads where the sun burns and everyone knows each other. In the city, their worlds collide, and a relationship begins that is as intense as it is impossible.

Een tijd van liefde
After the success of De dood van Benny Simons, Shady El-Hamus and Ashgan El-Hamus return with an energetic and gripping love story. Een tijd van liefde explores what happens when falling in love clashes with background, family, and the time you live in.
The performance begins at the end: where it hurts. From there, the story moves backwards into the 1990s, through highs and lows, from distance to desire, and from conflict to curiosity.-|-
Alongside a love story, this is also a story about recent migration history in the Netherlands. How do you keep seeing each other when differences seem bigger than similarities?
A powerful mix of Arabic and Western music forms the beating heart of the performance. Performed live by actors and musicians, it creates a rhythmic, physical, and emotional flow that drives the story forward.
