On stage are two brothers. They do what they always do: talk about things, play, and sing. So far everything is normal. But pay attention to the details.
How one says: this.
But the other hears: that.
And therefore subsequently says: that.
To which one thinks: what?
In Babel Raf and Mich Walschaerts go in search of the beauty of the misunderstanding, the humor in the confusion, and the tragedy of what is not said.
Over the years, Kommil Foo developed a style all their own. Emotion, hilarity, beautiful songs, and an absurd visual language fight for priority. The audience is invariably on the edge of their seat: laughing or crying?
Raf and Mich Walschaerts are two Flemish brothers and cabaret artists, known as Kommil Foo. Since the eighties, they have been making unique theater performances in which humor, music, and emotion merge. Their style is characterized by sharp texts, subtle slapstick, and poetic songs, often with a melancholic undertone.
With performances like Plank, Spaak, Breken, Oogst, and Grind, they managed to touch and surprise their audience time and again. They are active not only as cabaret artists but also as musicians and theater makers. Their shows are often about human relationships, misunderstandings, and the tragedy of the everyday.
