Gijsbrecht

In Gijsbrecht, the curtain drops for the great city of Amsterdam. On Christmas Eve, the yokels from Noord-Holland conquer and destroy Amsterdam through foul play. The city is on fire, and the battle lost before it started. And Gijsbrecht himself? Like a true hero he tries - against his better judgement - to save his beautiful city from demise. 

​

The theater performance Gijsbrecht was created for high school students. In this adaptation of Vondel's classic, Amsterdam perishes and Gijsbrecht, the tragic hero, leaves town.
