The Hope

Inspired by the film American Graffiti, the entire artistic team of Het Nieuwstedelijk gets to work with a mix of (recently graduated) drama students and young occasional actors from Genk in a swinging story about the end of high school. On the last day of the last summer vacation, a group of childhood friends experience a last evening in the small town where they grew up. This is followed by adult life. Some move away to go to college, perhaps never to return. Others start a job, stay on in town and may never get away.
