Johnny Mus – Hoppa!

Four party animals wake up after a night full of fun. They shake off the fatigue, stretch their stiff muscles and get - hoppa! - to work. But cleaning up soon turns into a new festivity. Slapstick lurks around every corner: glasses start to sing, speeches go wrong and presents get legs. The remaining musicians turn the hall upside down again. Accordion, guitar, violin and double bass tumble happily over each other. Balkan music collides with beats. Until the sun gets ordinary life going again. De Standaard ****: “You recognize genuine toddler theater by its natural ingenuity. The actors contain the art of making a whole world out of everyday things. The live music also blends effortlessly into the theater. Hoppa! rings and tinkles, at this party the cheerfulness feels anything but fake! ” from and with: Mieke Laureys (Johnny MUS), Nele Paelinck (Kapitein Winokio, Jan De Smet, The Bonnie Blues), Ehren Verrelst (ON/AF), Ben Van Bortel (jazz musician and composer) coaching and final direction: Merel Denie movement advice: Raff Pringuet technique: Janneke Donkersloot costumes: Tine Deseure production: Johnny MUS (coproduction with Het Laatste Bedrijf)
