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)

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. 

fleamarkets

This summer and spring was very rich in fleamarkets. Especially because here, in Belgium, people organize them almost every weekend, just in another part of town. They gather their knick-knacks in front of their houses and sell them for very friendly prices.

Sometimes I'm imagining how the same things rotate in time from market to market, from place to place, from one owner to another...

And than, there are those fancy fleamarkets, which became a tourist attraction. The one in Paris is a paradise. But all the rattles, gadgets, bric - and - bracs, gemgaws, gimcracks and whatnots cost just a little too much...
