Heersers

Those who went to see a performance by Wannes Cappelle in the past would only hear songs in English, because Wannes wanted to conquer the world. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. It was only when he started singing in West Flemish, the language of the underdog, that success followed.

In Heersers, Cappelle reflects on the path he has traveled and philosophizes about his love-hate relationship with his dialect, the rise of the underdog, and the fragility of dominance.
