How do we nourish a child? A family? A community?

After ZEEMAAL and LANDMAAL, theatre maker Sien Vanmaele concludes her compelling trilogy on the state of our planet and the food of the future with a performance that both awakens and inspires hope.

In LUCHTMAAL, she intertwines the life-changing experience of early motherhood with her insights into how we can keep the earth fertile. She immerses herself in the fascinating world of legumes. Beans, lentils and chickpeas may seem humble, yet they hold a revolutionary power. They nourish us and enrich the soil from within — quietly, slowly and essentially. Just as mothers do. Often unseen. Often undervalued.

A performance that invites you to look differently at what we eat, who nourishes us, and what we want to pass on to future generations.
