Puppet of the week

Some say he looks like spaghetti. Some call him a hairball. (Well he is practically a hairball... ) Some don't trust him, some want to cuddle him endlessly... I am talking about Jos. A muppet who comes from the US and has definitely the most charming American look.

Jos is a heartbroken young man (I mean, human man) but one morning he wakes up and he realizes that he is a fluffy puppet. Nobody knows why. His best friend Najib is totally frightened but at some point they will find some way to work it out and together they'll seek for adventures. 

If everything goes well, the Belgian public might see a show about Jos and his friend soon on television. And this one isn't for small children. But until than, there has to be still a lot of work done. (like rolling on a floor or so...)  

And here's the handsome crew: Fabrice, Jakob, Jos, Aziz, Wesley and Jan. (Kris -the real human Jos is missing. And I was also supposed to be on a picture... have I mentioned that I was the puppet's hands?) Anyway, it was fun, especially being stuck under the table or elsewhere:) 

Good luck, Jos, hope you make the show run!

June summary

This June begun with a successful try - out of the show for little children Hendrik and Poes, produced by Theater Savooi. Remember Hendrik? I introduced him here. You can see this show Hendrik and Poes also in July during the Gentse Feesten festival in Ghent. Check out the program here.

(Poes = Cat, but I guess it's quite clear from the photo)

Lena and Leen a.k.a. Hendrik and Poes

For more adventure I introduced this month also my good old Spaghetti Western to the Belgian public. My object theatre miniature, where two ketchup cowboys are trying to shoot each other was part of the festival of a Pedagogical center in Wagenschot. The theme of the festival was Spaghetti, so I couldn't just not bring it on there, although I am not sure now, if the audience was ready for so much blood. Some kids got bloody too... ooops :)

And in the end, June is also the month of the flea market fever. The popular one - on Lange Violettestraat didn't disappoint. Again there has been incredible choice of stuff to try, buy, take or just look at. If you are following my instagram you know what I am talking about.

Congratulations to all children who are done with the school for some time, congratulations to all of you for whom june acctually brings summer :) Any summer plans? 

For me it means a lot of work on our new Kukulu show. I can't tell you much, but there will be a bicycle, I promise.
