The Idiot, 10+ - FroeFroe

Have you ever thought about the life of a puppet? Never make a decision yourself. Never think for yourself. Never choose for yourself. A life that always depends on others: manipulators and puppeteers. You are really a puppet as a puppet. Is that fantastic or terrible? And what can a puppet do if he no longer likes his own performance? This puppet decides to risk everything and turn the tables. He is going to command the puppeteers in his turn. He wants to decide what happens himself. But the puppeteer has the power. The puppet makes promises and makes agreements. Too bad, because whoever has the power also wants to keep it. A production full of humor in which puppet and puppeteer tease and please each other until one of them admits that he is the boss. This performance is a remake of the performance POUVOIR. A project by UNE TRIBU, one of FroeFroe's favorite Walloon colleagues. They asked them to make a Flemish version of their successful production. POUVOIR received the Prize of the Minister of Youth at the Jeugdtheaterbijeenkomsten van Huy 2023 and the Prize of the Junior Jury at the Momix Festival 2024. direction Marc Maillard - with Stan Martens, Thais Scholiers, Annelore Stubbe - technique Klaartje Vermeulen - puppet Jan Maillard - decor Bruno Smeyers and Klaartje Vermeulen - costumes Astid Michaelis - in co-production with Perpodium - photo Koen Broos - with the support of the Tax Shelter of the Belgian federal government via Cronos Invest
