Huub Smit & Gurkan Küçüksentürk
In Did You Really Say That? actors Gürkan Küçüksentürk and Huub Smit dive with humor and sharpness into the wonderful world of communication and everything that can go wrong there. In recognizable scenes, two men meet each other again and again in situations full of misunderstandings, small clashes and unspoken assumptions. But they always touch each other, whether intended or not. A sincere compliment that goes wrong. A joke that is interpreted completely differently. A silence that says more than a thousand words. Did you really say that? shows how fragile communication is and how quickly we judge based on what we think we hear. With a playful mix of cabaret, theater and musical moments, the performance switches effortlessly from poignantly uncomfortable to painfully funny. At a time when we seem to be becoming more and more careful with words, Gürkan and Huub look for the places where things are abrasive. Where assumptions clash, misunderstandings arise and reality turns out to be slightly different than expected. Did you really say that? is a sharp, witty and surprisingly recognizable performance about everything that happens between what we say and what the other person hears.
