scenario, music and direction: Benjamien Lycke — a production by Pijkenzot vzw
Jan De Lichte, the musical brings Flanders’ most notorious and beloved bandit to life. In this brand-new, fully bespoke musical we follow Jan De Lichte as a local Robin Hood: a man fighting injustice, caught between myth and man, who grows into a symbol of resistance in turbulent times. With a powerful script and original music, we immerse you in a gripping musical full of tension, emotion and recognition.
Let yourself be swept up in a story of freedom, solidarity and rebellion, and discover why Jan De Lichte still captures the imagination today.
