Fratssen
invitation: we are expecting all of you for our family celebration
Fratssen family celebrates because Robert has shrunk and it's better! All forgotten aunts, lost uncles and other in-laws are invited, with measuring stick, to see the result in OC De Wimbert.
Fratssen theatricalizes the joys and embarrassments of family parties and serves the audience a buffet of unspoken feuds and well-meaning family love.
However, do not expect classic inheritance discussions, divorce troubles and/or family problems. These clichés do not make it into the performance. Rather, it is centered around the petites histoires.
*like a true family celebration, all ages, yes really all ages, are welcome!
ABOUT THE COMPANY
For Ballet Dommage, the theatre company of Katrien Valckenaers and Maxim Storms, the audience is always as much a part of the performance as they are themselves.Their work is absurd, alienating and adventurous. They create performances both outside and inside the theatre hall and for all age groups. The experience, based on the romantic image of how theatre used to be shown on the streets, remains the core of their location projects. Experiment and accessibility alternate constantly. A physical, linguistically-absurd and visual theatre language is a constant underlying factor.
