Bert of Roy

‘Sketch 5: Man buys art’ is the long-awaited new performance by Bert Haelvoet and Roy Aernouts, an iconic duo that has been playing together for more than 25 years. In their unique, absurd-comical universe, they balance between theater and comedy, in search of the ultimate sketch. In Sketch 5 unfolds into a hilarious verbal duel in which nothing is what it seems: who is actually scamming whom here? When a criminal brother also appears, everything threatens to derail completely. With coaching by Herwig Ilegems and a razor-sharp text full of wordplay and unexpected turns, the duo delivers a virtuoso and idiosyncratic performance. Photo: Tine De Wilde
