2. BETRAYAL/Harold Pinter - Mesut Arslan in Brussels and Gent



Mesut Arslan directs BETRAYAL, Pinters classical play about a triangular relationship that goes against time and starts with the end of the adultery. People are not only betrayed by other people but by time and it is this aspect that Arslan wants to develop. Starting point is the installation of Lawrence Malstaf ' NEVEL' that constantly recreates space and in this way reflects the game of time and memory.
