De val van Hercules dives into the theme of masculinity and masculine energy within everyone. The performance serves as a statement against the representation of toxic masculinity within society as well as researching and offering new ways of reshaping masculinity as a word and concept. Derving from Greek mythology with it’s heroes and gods, and drawing a parallel line between the Dutch 17th century, the production cirtizes the glorification of these characters and aims to shine a new light upon how we see these stories.
