Absurd orchestra in a crazy dream world
The Hopfrog Fanfare populates an "Alice in Wonderland" dream world with bizarre game rules, in the middle between a sports game, a concert and a ritual.
Be enchanted by a tantalizing interplay of live music, choreography and absurd theatrical imagination.
During their performance, the musicians search again and again for ways of playing together, with each other and with the audience. But every attempt seems to fail. It is even dangerous and forbidden. When all hope is dashed and they are about to give up, a way out arises from an unexpected angle.
Hopfrog Fanfare in good company
Director Randi De Vlieghe is one of our most versatile choreographers active in children's and youth theater. He has received several awards for his work, which extends from the scenes around fABULEUS, BRONKS and HETPALEIS to his own non-profit organization Moldova.
In Hopfrog, nine musical classics and character heads stretch the concept of "fanfare" in all sorts of directions. They sound like life itself: sometimes grotesque and absurd, sometimes hushed and simple. But always real: with breath, sweat and rhythms that make you move. They previously collaborated with Zonzo Company for Brass & Sheet, 2019 winner of the YAM Award as "Best Large Ensemble".
