about Jef van Gestel & Peter Vandemeulebroecke
The theater work by Jef van Gestel & Peter Vandemeulebroecke is like a mental playground. Their performances at the intersection of Mime, Performance, Visual Arts and Physical and Visual Theater seek boundaries, peppered with absurd humor, alienating poetry and an unpleasant fantasy.

press about draft hole:
" fairy-tale feëeric scenes from a dancing toilet roll to dangerous samples of a gray xxxl gray garbage bag. Jef van Gestel and Peter Vandemeulebroecke distinguish themselves as original performers who make completely quirky theater. Without words, but with a huge, especially physical expressiveness . "(De Volkskrant ★★★★)

" Their work is visual and physical and invites you to look at surprising sages at the everyday. Vandemeulebroecke and Van Gestel also show how wind can transform the ugliness, meaninglessness or lifelessness of objects. A roll of toilet paper stretches, moves in the dazzling patterns of the ribbon of a gymnast, and then crumbling like a monster. Aluminum foil that rins from a crack folds turns up in the air and starts to reflect the light like a disco ball. Long pieces of tulle spin in an elegant fight around each other as Chinese dragons.
