An almost-one-man show. With a man, a real one. One and a half, if we’re being nice. Just the half if we’re being critical. No matter what, he steals the show. And the fans love that. Some say he’s hot. And the fans love that. And the women? Do they love it? That doesn’t matter. Or does it? It’s him who has the floor, him who gets heard. That’s how it goes when you’re a public persona, right? You say what they want to hear from you, no? And what about them?

This solo performance directed by KVS face Pitcho Womba Konga offers a unique and intriguing view of the omnipresent rape culture. It takes the audience right to the heart of the issue. Laryssa Kim’s soundscape and a contribution by sexologist Zina Hamzaoui mingle with an unsettling performance by Salim Haouach and the voice of Nihale Touati.

Ras El Hanout was founded over ten years ago by a group of Brussels friends who believe in theatre as a means for empowerment and dialogue. The company, led by artistic director Salim Haouach, now has its own theatre in the heart of Molenbeek and tours yearly with several productions. In ten years, they have created over 30 theatre plays, which were performed over 300 times in total for over 40.000 viewers.

The One et Demi Man Show is the first coproduction by Ras El Hanout and KVS. We proudly present the online premiere on March 18 at 20:00 on the platform KVS 24/7. The performance (45 mins) is followed by a 30-minute discussion (FR/NL) with Pitcho Womba Konga (director and co-author), Salim Haouach (actor and co-author) and Zina Hamzaoui (midwife and relational therapist), moderated by Kristin Rogghe (KVS dramaturge). The performance can be viewed online until midnight on March 21.

"Dit is theater dat mikt op emancipatie: ook al zijn er bij een #MeToo-zaak geen winnaars, schuldinzicht en begrip zijn al belangrijke eerste stappen. En een gesprek over consent moet vermijden dat zo’n drama zich ooit herhaalt."

De Standaard

“Dit stuk zal mensen ongetwijfeld midscheeps raken, mannen én vrouwen. (…) Dit is een voorstelling die emoties aanwakkert, die vragen oproept en die een debat op gang zal brengen.”

Zina Hamzaoui

“Dit project blijft nagalmen bij mij, het stelt in vraag wie en wat ik ben. Het gaat er ook om te weten wat allemaal speelt bij een ontmoeting. Wat is consent? Moet consent uitgesproken worden? Of is het iets dat je moet aanvoelen?”
