Michel Wuyts and Geert Vandenbon

'Dag & Nacht Koers!' is a performance for big and small cycling freaks, about riders who are human. With ambition and doubt, with courage and overconfidence. Michel Wuyts is the cycling voice of Flanders. Still. He tells stories endlessly. Liedjesmaker Geert Vandenbon plays the pacer. 'Dag & Nacht Koers!' … an evening of racing, for those who love gripping stories and warm songs. For over 30 years, cycling man Michel Wuyts has been/was the voice of the race in Flanders. Even after his Sporza career, that voice is not finished talking. In ‘Dag & Nacht Koers!’ Michel does what he does best: inspire a full hall with the most beautiful and gripping cycling stories. Wuyts observes and analyzes. He molds racing into his own story. Sharp and surprising: “97% of what I tell is the truth. It is up to the listener to discover where that 3% of fantasy lies.“ With stories from in front of and behind the camera, Michel Wuyts is also traveling from theater to theater in 2022-2023. In 'Dag & Nacht Koers!' he cycles freewheeling through the heads of champions and characters. He does that together with Geert Vandenbon, a bringer of rest and a pacer. Armed with voice and guitar, his (cycling) songs reinforce Michel's words. They inspire and make you dream. Andries Boone complements with viola, mandolin, and accordion. Beautiful photo material colors stories and texts. Racing has two faces. In broad daylight, the peloton zooms by. Athletes at their peak. Cameras roll, tension rises, the sprint is breathtaking. When the circus stops and night falls, athletes become people. Flesh and blood. Characters, with ambitions and dreams, with injuries and doubts. White and black. Layer by layer, Michel shares their soul with the spectator. And their stories. Great histories and fun facts, funny anecdotes, and stories that make you go quiet. Who the characters are, you will discover along the way…
