A Comedy of Errors

After the successful philosophical talk comedy tsjik tsjak Wham, Thomas Claessens and Hendrik Kegels join forces again. This time they examine one of Shakespeare's most underrated works: The comedy of errors. In the version by Thomas and Hendrik, four lookalikes meet at the start of the performance. They are wearing the same coat, the same sneakers and socks... even the same mustache! They look so much alike that they themselves have trouble distinguishing themselves from each other. What begins as a small confusion quickly develops into a tangle of misunderstandings. In an attempt to emphasize their differences, the four lose themselves in an increasingly absurd logic. They start playing each other to make it clear how different they are, they put on each other's identical clothes, but they get increasingly entangled in a labyrinth of identity swaps. Until they no longer know who is who, and even no longer know who they are themselves. What if we are not as special as we like to believe ourselves? What if you can be replaced by someone who thinks they are a better version of you? Hendrik and Thomas find out why we feel that constant urge to distinguish ourselves so much from each other, why we are so afraid of not being unique. The original Shakespeare remains present in the background – or does the fiction catch up with reality and the players themselves? A comedy of errors promises to be an evening full of humor, confusion, and misunderstandings. FC De Kampioenen, but in verses.
