Shakespeare, Beckett, Williams, Brecht, Jelinek, Pinter and Kane were represented among some others. Micha’s Amateur Theatre Group read around twelve synopses and after an intense selection procedure, they ended up with Mr. Burns, a post-electric play by Anne Washburn, on how an episode of The Simpsons becomes a familiar mythos of a culture still reeling from destruction of civilization and the near-extinction of humanity decades earlier.

While waiting for the script – that a publisher would send them as soon as they would republish it – the Group started to dug deep into our imaginary caves, searching for memories of the huge catastrophe/happening/apocalyptic moment. 

Malevolent Landscape is a classical post-apocalyptic drama, but far off from Mr. Burns, a post-electric play. Amazon.com told the Group that the script is somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean. They are still waiting for it.

Micha´s Amateur Theater Group (for professionals) started July 2016. Since then professionals from the fields of arts in Brussels have been meeting each other in the time concept of amateurs – 1.5 hours a week, for two months. A strong but always changing net of people have interacted under one golden rule: engage with pleasure!
