Kommil Foo

A house in a street. A woman on a chair. Waiting, making an exciting listening, hoping for the wafer -thin sound of footsteps on the gravel. For years.

Raf and Mich bite in their family history, dig the old hidden secrets. The grotesque, hilarious and heartbreaking stories, sometimes roared at the party table, sometimes listened to in a corner of the kitchen, often withheld from shame.

Over the years, Kommil Foo has developed a completely unique way of making performances: emotion, hilarity, beautiful songs and an absurd visual language fighting for priority. Performances about people and his everyday tragedy. The viewer is always forced on the tip of his chair: laughing or crying?

Gravel.
