Four cowboys spend the weekend together. In the depths of their minds, they are heroes of the Far West, in reality heroism is horribly far off. Straight-faced, they analyse the world, work and women. The portrayal of men here is not pretty. And that’s why it’s so extremely funny and … sad.

Desperado, a text written in 1995, seems to paint a picture of how the aggrieved white Trump voters feel: misunderstood, disadvantaged, their masculinity under attack. Thanks to the sometimes subtle and then rough humor, the authors Ton Kas & Willem de Wolf succeed in drawing a sad and at the same time hilarious human portrait.

Desperado is now for the first time translated into French by the two Brussels-based companies Enervé and Tristero.

Performance in French.

DESPERADO WON THE FIRST PRIZE in the category comédie-humour of the Prix Maeterlinck de la critique 2019.
On the 23rd of September 2019 the prize was awarded in Théâtre National.
