Night Flights

Over the past two years, fiction podcasts have also taken off in Belgium, with such titles as De Buffalo Bitches, Batavia, Posha and Night Flights. In the latter, writer and director Johanson transports the listener to a parallel dream world that turns out to be quite dangerous for two lovers. “Gradually Night Flights evolves from a magical-realist atmosphere to an action-packed fantasy,” wrote De Standaard when the series was released early this year. The script and directing increasingly appeal to your imagination, and Lucas Derycke (De kunst van het verdwijnen) pulls out all the stops with sumptuous sound effects.”

But there was also praise for the stellar cast, including Manu Van Acker (Nonkels), Ferre Van Den Broeck (2DEZIT), Bill Barberis (De Hoppers), Milton Riche (Liefdestips aan mezelf), Lien Van den Bossche (Red Star Line), Floris Devooght (14-18), Pieter Jan De Paepe (Damiaan), MNM host Esther Nwanu and voice legend Luk De Koninck. Meanwhile, Night Flights has been nominated for the prestigious Prix Europa!

Kirsten Lemaire brings the studded cast together on stage for the first time to look back on the extraordinary creative process. From finished scenes over audio bloopers to striking anecdotes, after this show, you’ll never listen to fiction podcasts the same way again.
