Embrace on the Egg Market — film poster
A film by Pieter Solta
On the morning of the trial, Noor tells her grandpa that she forgives him. Shocked, he gets up and leaves. He had been a real estate tycoon, and one of his renovations went fatally wrong: the Palace of Justice collapsed. At the highly anticipated court session, the judge unexpectedly stands up, resigns and walks out. But Noor follows him, she wants a verdict. The judge, however, is equally resolute: he will never cast a judgement on anyone again…

Film & performance
The Return of the Whale
They have heard about the whale’s sadness: they say it is greater than its own body. They felt they had nothing to say against it: yes, there is a lot that is disappointing. But they have started telling stories. Fables with their bodies, with half-words and open syllables. And so the whale became an animal of all-encompassing love and understanding. They are now preparing everything for its arrival. They are throwing a premature celebration, and already living as if the kingdom of the whale were here. Because they have told one another that the whale will only come when it is no longer needed.
Written and directed by Pieter Solta, with the residents of Zonnelied and De Loods.

Presented during De week van de verbeelding at Kasteel van Gaasbeek, November 1 & 8, 2026.

Also showing in Cinema Solta soon after its premiere.
