Buysse & Joosten - Guyland

During the opening of a new children's playground, a seven-year-old boy falls and is badly hurt. The artist, municipal official, event manager, and intern initially brush off the incident - until they are confronted about their sense of responsibility. During a moment of silence, it becomes clear that one of them could save the boy. Who steps forward?

Comic scenes alternate with introspection in a Men's Circle, where the characters reconstruct what went wrong. Guyland humorously questions why men refuse to grow up: are these spoiled children, or are they caught in a fundamental identity crisis?

De Volkskrant previously wrote about this duo's work: "Actor Emma Buysse and director Luna Joosten have been making sharp, witty satires on the zeitgeist for a few years now, in which the pretentious, eloquent wannabe-intellectual regularly gets taken down." (Sander Janssens, on Crybaby)
