Kortjakje, the play
The name ‘Kortjakje’ refers to the leading character in an old Dutch folksong, the exact meaning of which has been long lost in the mists of time. Monnik Merkx has used his own interpretation to create a contemporary version of Kortjakje.Kortjakje is a giant three-dimensional picture book containing humorous drawings, mysterious nursery rhymes, and sleepy lullabies. The story line weaves in and out and has an air of hallucination to it. Visit the web site of Max Theatre Group to read more about Kortjakje and other theatre performances.
