Hugo de Groot, de musical
Everyone knows his escape in the book chest, but why was Hugo de Groot actually imprisoned? In this compelling musical full of pop-rock music, a well-known chapter of our history becomes more relevant than ever.
How much do you risk to be allowed to say what you think? What is freedom worth if you only get it by conforming, and what price are you willing to pay for peace?
In a country where faith and politics clash, Hugo chooses tolerance and freedom of thought. In doing so, he makes himself an enemy and loses his own freedom. When he is imprisoned in Loevestein Castle, his voice seems to be silenced forever – but thanks to the courage and ingenuity of his wife Maria, a plan is devised, and the rest is history.
A compelling story about freedom, doubt, and the courage to give the other person space.
