CIE KRAK

Almost without words, with strong images and gentle humour, a recognisable journey unfolds from hope to despair, from sorrow to acceptance. Kintsugi touches without crushing. Comfort gets time, grief gently digests.

“Those who themselves have been shattered by the loss of a neighbor will
then recognize much in the clown's grieving process. The humor
in no way hinders expression. On the contrary, it helps
even to break taboos about grief. ” - Tom P. - PZAZZ

“Dieter Missiaen, one of our country's most punishing clowns, is setting the stage with
KINTSUGI put on a very beautiful performance that is touching and that captures the theme
loss and grief all the credit. What a wonderful performance!”
(Roel Tulleneers - programmer CC De Werft Geel)
