ECHT (truly)
One is all about entertainment, the other embraces high arts, a shameless comedy full of hilarity and recognition, because living together can be really difficult sometimes.
The married artist couple The Magnifico’s have been performing for years with their variety show in which singing, dancing, and magic take centre stage. While one pursues entertainment, the other embraces the high arts, opera, ballet, classical music. Unfortunately, The Magnifico’s can no longer maintain the façade of a perfect marriage, and their egos turn out to be bigger than the space available on stage.
The artist couple The Magnifico’s is portrayed by Aat Dirks and Merel Voorsluis, who are also married and artists in real life. That is certainly no coincidence…
ECHT is a performance without words in the tradition of international street theatre.
