Gift. A Marriage Story

An intense chamber play about love, loss, and the painful art of letting go: Ten years after the tragic loss of their son, a man and a woman meet for the first time again – at the place where he is buried. What begins as a formal conversation evolves into a ruthless confrontation with guilt, grief, and the question of whether forgiveness is possible. With precise language and quiet yet profound emotions, Lot Vekemans dissects the fragile fabric of a relationship that has been uprooted by life. The play captivates with clarity, psychological accuracy, and great emotional impact. It shows how close pain and tenderness, alienation and intimacy are to one another – and that sometimes a single moment is enough to change everything. "Gift" is a theatrical experience that brings us so close to the characters that we feel as if we are sitting beside them – and it resonates within us long after the last word has been spoken.
