Where do we stand and how did we get here? And where do we go from here? These are important questions! Does the superb company de KOE perhaps have an answer? Come and see the Grand Finale of their majestic yet also light-hearted history of the West, a cheerful meandering stream of personal memories, political anecdotes, historical events and unexpected philosophical insights.

Following Otaku – the first comedy show ever to be selected for the Theatre Festival! – Joost Vandecasteele returns with a comedy show that questions both comedy and show. Something different, in other words. Something between the political and the personal, the perverse and the porous. A performance about the period between the elections and Flemish emancipation, a one man thing about a man and things.

It is not only women who should be given tips and tricks in glossy magazines. Men too have a right to answers to their questions about how to be a man, lover, father, friend or human being. Based on her great love for the stronger sex, Laura van Dolron, as a woman, takes on the challenge of remedying this situation. She pays tribute to men, but to a different man every evening.  Production cancelled for reasons of health.

On stage we see a lifelike reconstruction of the sort of newspaper shop we find in almost every station, high street and airport. Customers come and go. Behind the cash register the shopkeeper routinely rings up the sales. A hilarious insight into life as it is in a newspaper kiosk. However, at the end Tristero surprises us with a dramatic twist, putting everything in a harsh light.
