Große Menschen (Grote Mensen)

Compagnie Barbarie / BRONKS

Big people work. And the little ones play. Or go to school. Or they sleep. But what do adults really do when their children have been at school all day or are already in bed? Are they in control of the world or are they taking a nap? Do the big people really have everything under control? Or do they just end up making a huge mess that the children have to clean up later?

“There’s no theatre here. We’re adults and we’re busy.” With this tongue-in-cheek announcement, the Compagnie Barbarie from Brussels spins an absurdly tragic horror comedy that reaches deep into the treasure chest of theatrical devices with relish. For the four great performers, the stage is both workshop and home, and the chaos they create grows with great casualness. Where exactly do children and adults see eye to eye? In an accessible and entertaining way, the piece involves people of all ages, from four upwards, in an uninhibited celebration of the theatre that simultaneously inspires light-hearted contemplation.
