In Do the Calimero, Lies Pauwels shows carnival as the ultimate metaphor for the human condition. An outlet, a folk festival, a rite of passage, a no man's land where anything goes. A place to escape the fast-changing world. Where you can be small and flawed in the glow of greatness.

Do the Calimero is a colourful yet dark performance, balancing between melancholy and ecstasy. On stage are musicians Dag Taeldeman and Andrew Van Ostade, actors Marjan De Schutter, Olga Kunicka, Mick Galliot Fabré, Amalia Daems Keereman and two dancers: Doris and Nathalie Bokongo Nkumu (Les Mybalés).

A performance like a mirror ball. (...) And because of the unbridled commitment of the cast, many young people will find themselves in this mix of seriousness and fun.
