THE BELGIAN at Kalk Bay Theatre

Behind the façade of their clean cut little houses with their neat little front garden, patrolled by smirking garden gnomes … something obscurely wicked is lurking … and some waffles. Gaëtan Schmid’s latest is a hilarious trip into the absurd and surreal mind of an endangered species. Buy a ticket and save a Belgian.

Going to see The Belgian, is like bumping into your favourite barfly at your local bar. The Belgian aka Gaëtan Schmid (Body Language – Rumpsteak – The Dog’s Bollocks) will regale you with extravagant stories about everything and nothing. From his childhood amongst the cows in Belgium to understanding braai etiquette in present day South Africa. Sometimes you might wonder where reality has been a little bit stretched but – who cares – you will be entertained with such panache and jubilation, that you won’t be able not smile, chuckle and laugh.
