Whoever isn’t updated is out. Or are they? Michael Van Peel mercilessly dissects the bullshit of our brave new times and, in his Farce Majeure, shows - with the kind of restorative humour we all need - that in the end we’re all just bumbling fools.

And you? Have you downloaded the app yet? Scanned the QR code? Created an account? Are you updated, really? Are you keeping up.

In the cesspit of bullshit, the crap is up to our lips. Reality is outpacing satire at breakneck speed. It’s sink or sink deeper. Luckily, Van Peel slices through the spirit of the times as sharply as ever. With laughter - and getting back up again.

Farce Majeure is about power and overpowering forces. About the bumbling fools we all are. Because don’t let anyone fool you. Everyone else is just winging it too.

Since winning the Humorologie jury prize in 2009, Michael Van Peel has been a fixture on Flemish stages and in the media. With his shows he has performed just about everywhere in Flanders, from youth centres to the Lotto Arena. He writes columns and opinion pieces, appears on TV in De Slimste Mens and Comedy Casino, makes podcasts and writes travel books. With Farce Majeure, he now pulls into our theatre with a razor‑sharp, no‑filters show.
