KELLY AND THE PIT | Abattoir Fermé

Kelly finds a pit. The pit wasn't there at first, and then suddenly it was. It is so deep that no one knows if it ever ends. En Kelly? She tumbles right into it. What she finds below is everything that was ever hidden deep away: Bompapa and Moemoe, a moon goddess named Selena, and all the way at the bottom in the heat of the pit, lives the Rode Man. He knows things. About fallen angels, underground parties, dark desires, and a shameful past. Kelly and the pit is a soggy descent into the subconscious with the only goal: crawling back up – if that is still possible. The new creation by Abattoir Fermé will be a fairy tale for adults, a magical-dark 'puppet show' played by regular Abattoir values Tine Van den Wyngaert, Kirsten Pieters, and Steve Geerts and guest actress Iris Becher. Almost without text, but with a voice-over from the depths and a hypnotic musical score from the hat of house composer Kreng (see also Tourniquet, Ghost, Hotel Poseidon, etc.). Fantastic news for all children who would love to take their parents to an Abattoir performance! Often the dads and moms are too scared! Fortunately, there are two versions of Kelly and the pit: one for adults and one for kids from 8 years old. Bring your parents to one of our matinees on October 31, and November 4 and 14!
