About the carillonneur who turned into a bell
The Bell is about two fathers and two sons. Their stories, interwoven in form and content, together tell of the intertwining of father and son, of letting go and saying goodbye. They are based on Sjoerd and Jorrit Tamminga and Paul and Menno de Nooijer. Both couples have a close bond in which working together and creating their own work plays an important role. When the fathers are taken ill, the time of letting go and saying goodbye starts. What happens very abruptly with Sjoerd and Jorrit, is a long process with Paul and Menno which is explored during the performance. At the end of the story, both sons will start a new, independent chapter, leaving the father behind.
