About the show

A table and a fusebox, both with legs; a man who takes out the trash or a walking cardboard box, are some of the characters that inhabit After all Springville, a Surrealist comedy created by the Belgian company Miet Warlop, founded by the visual artist. This show is a revival of the work Springville that made its debut more than a decade ago, and whose visual poetry seduced audiences worldwide. In the midst of the stage, a house belches smoke and around it unfold these characters, half object half human, whose absurd and frustrated relationships, like neighbours in a community, provoke laughter.
