KOPERGIETERY presents: The Pale Baron (8+)

KOPERGIETERY & KGbe


The pale baron is the great leader of the underwater state. He always grabs the last piece, even before others have been served. He strongly dislikes poets, they mean all kinds of things between the lines, in the white where nothing is written. This makes the baron feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Felix & Felka are not poets. They are singers....

The Pale Baron is a new musical fable by Anna Vercammen & Joeri Cnapelinckx (The queen has vanished, the Anal Phase). About an intimate friendship between two musicians during a regime that sees no point in being useful other than the fact of being useful, and that hunts down everything or anyone that is deemed superfluous or different.

The Pale Baron is a musical fairy tale that could just as easily be about a dictatorship from the past as one from the future, and which adults and children will each find very useful in different ways. So let come the poems, the blank lines, the blush and the hesitation.

Het Nieuwsblad - Magali Degrande,

Within the format of a romantic concert with fanning binding lyrics, occasionally bluntly interrupted by state radio, Vercammen and Cnapelinckx spin hot issues like migration, climate, utilitarianism and political repression in the smooth wrapping paper of a children's fable.
