I love (and hate) you, Belgium - fABULEUS / Armin Mola

Actor and theater maker Armin Mola traveled to different corners of our country in recent years with his successful performance I love (and hate) you, Iran. Along the way, Armin collected, thanks to the many meetings and conversations, a wealth of information about the local culture. In I love (and hate) you, Belgium he sketches in a humorous and critical way what makes Belgium, Belgium for him. Armin crawls into the skin of diverse characters and their different worldviews and experiences. Freestyling with voice, language and accents, he weaves his personal story with social and political questions about nationality and identity. After more than 80 performances of I love (and hate) you, Iran in Belgium and the Netherlands, he is also working this new chapter into a striking monologue. Besides his solos at fABULEUS, Armin also played in various performances at, among others, tg STAN and Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen, and in the TV series Hoodie and Sterregem. I love (and hate) you, Belgium gives space to the anger, the coldness, the obstacles and the rain, but also to the great love for language, its accents, juiciness and tongue twisters. Armed with nothing but words, Armin Mola wins the whole country over.
