OKIDOK

For nearly 25 years, the uproarious and dynamic duo OKIDOK (Xavier Bouvier and Benoît Devos) from Tournai have been delighting audiences of all ages.

The show

We’ve been fortunate to host many of their shows in Spa: Slips Inside, Ha Ha Ha, Les Chevaliers, Okidok Kabaret Social Klub... This year, they will also be performing outdoors with Slips Experience. (Link – see p.41 in the brochure)

In their latest production, In petto, an absurd tragicomedy unfolds, depicting the chaotic lives of two itinerant clown musicians. Their makeshift cart, serving as both shelter and stage, collapses, leaving them bruised and bewildered. In a moment of suspension, they strive to find a compromise, a delicate balance, a hopeful solution, determined to carry on with their show and journey, no matter the obstacles.

In the press

With a perfect script and impeccable direction, they wonderfully combine humor, poetry, physical feats, and emotion.

Okidok transported the full house into a world brimming with imagination.
