BABEL - Kommil Foo

On stage: two brothers. They do what they always do: talk about things, play, sing. So far so normal. But pay attention to the details… How one says: this. But the other hears: that. And so subsequently says: that! To which one thinks: what? So far the short summary of the new performance BABEL by Raf and Mich Walschaerts. Clear, right? Or is some more explanation needed? BABEL is a performance that searches for the beauty of the misunderstanding, the humor in the confusion, the tragedy of that which is not said. Over the years, Kommil Foo developed a completely unique way of making performances. Emotion, hilarity, beautiful songs, and an absurd visual language fight for priority. Anyone who was there during one of their previous (comedy) passages in CCHA (Oogst, 2021; GRIND, 2023) knows that the spectator is invariably on the edge of their seat and asks themselves the following question several times: laugh or cry? from and with Raf & Mich Walschaerts / direction Ineke Nijssen / light & sound Koen Bellens / © Johan Jacobs kommilfoo.be
