Four nights a week, Eric welcomes a fascinating mix of athletes, politicians, famous Flemish people and ordinary people with a special story to talk to them live about everything that really matters. But Bar Goens is more than just talking. A café thrives on atmosphere, which is why there is also an outdoor stage. Anything can happen there: from live music and surprising acts to unexpected stunts or spontaneous interventions that give the show that little bit extra. "In Bar Goens, people don't just talk, they also experience it. Relevant, exciting, sharp and on a human scale. Nothing is off-limits, nothing is impossible," says Eric.

Strong-willed, funny and charismatic, at 37, Belgian athlete Marieke Vervoort’s time is running out. As her strength falters and her body begins to fail, she determines to end her life with the aid of her doctor. Liberated by the legal permission to die, Marieke rediscovers the freedom and thrill of living and competing and becomes a Paralympic champion. Her acceptance of death becomes an affirmation of life. Marieke demystifies one of the most controversial issues of our time.
