The Pig through the Beets – a Steaming course of West Flemish

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 · 13:00
François Laurentinstituut, overdekt binnenplein, Ghent
€15
Verlaat de Gentse Feesten not without a language immersion in the juiciest language: West Flemish. If you have Bruges friends or a ‘trouwma’ (true friend) of Bachten de Kupe, then this is for you: a show of our own making by ‘professor Declercq’. End with a challenging quiz and get your West Flemish diploma! You will never have learned and laughed so much at the same time. Karel Declercq played the character Marcel Verachtert on radio 2 for years (‘Zij mee ?’) with opponent Gust De Coster and Sabientje ‘myn appelsientje’ Devos. Also at the Vrt, he taught Limburger Peter Hermans West-Flemish as ‘professor Declercq’. The inevitable has happened: Karel has bundled his lessons into a live program under the title 't Zwyn deur de bjèten' (which means: painting the town red). It is a show in an absurd style, where the audience is strongly involved.
