June 1st., 2024: Westrand 50, Alice Toen 100 years! Cc Westrand Dilbeek, theater hall.

There is no age limit for passion. Alice Toen, born in 1924 and still active on stage, proves this better than anyone else! After a well-filled career as a TV, film and theater actress, author and dramaturge of children's and youth theater, she will once again take to the stage during the Dilbekenaar Day event and the closing party of 50 years of Westrand.

During this heart-warming concert, which she performs together with soprano Françoise Vanhecke and guitarist Jean Van der Schueren, she performs with infectious enthusiasm songs and texts by Federico Garcia Lorca, Toon Hermans, Jules De Corte, Manuel De Falla, ... An exquisite chance to see this grande lady at work again in Dilbeek. This performance premiered at the KVS with a lot of interest from the media.
