"a deeply-moving show midway between humour  and historical accuracy" - Le Soir

‘It is surprising and worthy when a theatre company does not go down the predictable road… a very entertaining and even amusing performance.’ - De Morgen

‘It shows how you can disclose a piece of history in the theatre in an interesting way, without resorting to educational instruction.’ - De Standaard

Hundreds of Moroccan soldiers lie buried in the cemetery of the Walloon town of Gembloux. During World War II, the allies used them as cannon fodder against the German army and then shamefully forgot about them. Gembloux fills this gap in our history books with a captivating, but also funny story of a fictitious skirmisher based on real facts. Nobody tells it better than Sam Touzani, stand-up comedian, actor, author and choreographer and Ben Hamidou, the imam from Les Barons and the ‘Molenbeek kid’ in Sainte Fatima de Molem. These first-class performers effortlessly balance humour and seriousness.
