Toneelgroep Maastricht - BV Vastgoed
Toneelgroep Maastricht presents 'BV Vastgoed', a modern adaptation of Mamet’s 'Glengarry Glen Ross'. Directed by Michel Sluysmans, the cast includes Malou Gorter, Wendell Jaspers, and Quiah Shilue. Jibbe Willems translated this dark comedy.
At the real estate office BV Vastgoed, the employees are forced by management to participate in a sales competition. The top two sellers get a bonus, the rest are fired. This leads to a fierce struggle where only the strongest survive. Through sharp, witty dialogues, Mamet depicts a desperate arena where people are forced to be winners at the expense of the losers. The play was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and received rave reviews.
After August: Oklahoma (2024) and The Cherry Orchard (2023), Michel Sluysmans directs another modern interpretation of a classic play. Mamet wrote the piece in 1982, at the start of the neoliberal era. More than 40 years later, that era is coming to an end. In Jibbe Willems’ translation, BV Vastgoed becomes a hilarious and tragic portrait of people trapped in a world they’ve created themselves. A lonely world driven by money, where selfishness is seen as a prerequisite for success and altruism as a weakness. Because those who don’t eat, get eaten.
