Details

On December 30, 1967, Masscheroen, an adaptation of Mariken van Nieumeghen by Hugo Claus, was performed in the Knokke Casino. It remained with that one screening, because a few days later Claus was charged by the court with public indecency because of the piece. The reason was three naked men on stage in the role of the Holy Trinity. Six months after the performance, Claus was sentenced to four months in prison. This became conditional after appeal, but the author had to pay a fine of 10,000 francs.
