The beauty of misunderstanding

On stage, you see two brothers. They are doing what they always do: talking about things, playing, singing. So far, everything normal. But notice the details... How one says: this. But the other hears: that. And so then says: that! To which the one thinks: what? In Babel , you will see Raf and Mich Walschaerts in a brand new show looking for the beauty of misunderstanding, the humour in confusion, the tragedy of the unsaid. Over the years, Kommil Foo developed a completely unique way of making performances: emotion, hilarity, beautiful songs and an absurd visual language fight for precedence. They bring you to the edge of your seat: laugh or cry?

Kommil Foo

Raf and Mich Walschaerts are two Flemish brothers and cabaret performers. Since the 1980s, they have been creating unique theatre performances that merge humour, music and emotion. Their style is characterised by sharp texts, subtle slapstick and poetic songs, often with melancholic undertones. Over the years, Raf and Mich created a unique place of their own within Dutch-language cabaret. They are loved for their craftsmanship, original storytelling power and unmistakable brotherly chemistry on stage.
