Two athletes of the mind, a
cardinal and a philosopher, are put together by a computer that seems
to be God, in a space that isn’t theirs and where rules are different
from those in our world. They each believe in a different world view.
One with God, the other without. But neither of them succeeds in
realising his vision in his personal life. One loses himself in his
relationship with the computer, the other is being chased by his past.
Do they find purification in the end? Or is that sea of difficulties that life has in store for us just random bad luck?
Valentijn
Dhaenens, in the role of atheist incarnate, goes into battle with
Mathijs F Scheepers, a grotesque, new Messiah. Together they fight a
bitter battle to defend their truths. And to persuade the other,
they go far. To the absurd. They deliver their battle in a bizarre test
lab. Who or what has put them together and now pushes them into test
modules? Is it a computer? God? A timeless and spaceless voice? And what
if that voice leaves them?
With Your Kingdom Come, SKaGeN presents a razor-sharp performance that turns out to be both tragic and treacherous.
