Review

Fairy tale existence becomes nightmare
'Max T. by Walpurgis ends with a distinct moral lesson. Actor and singer Pieter Embrechts, aka Max T., admits his lapses and warns against overly charming promises. It is not the young flail's tragic downfall that impresses in this musical theatre performance, but its comic light-heartedness. (...) Together with three all-round musicians, the sound score zaps from Stravinsky over Rossini to Coldplay - In my place, drollly accompanied by four recorders. (...) The relationship between Max T. and Nick Schaduw (an icy Dimitri Duquennoy) carries the whole performance. Pieter Embrechts plays a credible adolescent with whom the young audience (aged 12 and above) can easily identify.'
