Van Hove keeps the life of the novel always in mind the periphery of Jan Versweyveld’s open stage is a hive of cooking, painting and architectural design, giving context to the central story. ![]() Frightening and all too believable, Hans Kesting morphs from one abuser to the next like an unshakable nightmare. Heading an excellent cast, Ramsey Nasr is stoical and determined as Jude, a self-contained loner who gives his friends no special reason to love him.

Painful stillness … Ramsey Nasr and Bart Slegers in A Little Life. ![]()
