Synopsis: | A young couple check into a hotel with their two small children. A week passes before the police make a chilling discovery. In 1999, in the suburban town of Aalst, two parents murdered their children. The ensuing high profile and dramatic trial led to much soul searching in the Belgian media. In 2005 Belgian theatre company, Victoria, dramatised the case, working from source material including statements and interviews, TV footage of the trial and a documentary on the murder investigation. Produced in theatres and festivals across Europe, Aalst has built a reputation as a powerful and complex piece of modern theatre which raises disturbing questions - questions that have no easy answer. Aalst is a production based on real events, born in Europe, re-worked, re-shaped and re-imagined for a Scottish audience by a brilliant and eclectic creative team. | |||||
