ChitChat

Ba dum tss, kablam, boink, clang, auch.

In this superb dance duet, two girls humorously keep bumping into each other. They giggle, roar, splutter, play, misbehave, chat, dance, frolic, ambush each other, fight and make up. Inseparable and then apart again…

Charlotte Goesaert and Karolien Verlinden play two toddler friends in ChitChat. Like two peas in a pod they move around, imitate each other, do everything together, before they bicker and split up again. The two are reckless against each other and the world, but all on a sandbox level. They create a duet with self-made sounds, linked to movements, varying from very wild to very soft. De sounds and music by Joost Maaskant start out as sound poetry and end in a rock opera.

Karolien and Charlotte about ChitChat
“We are rather wild and clumsy ourselves, and we have noticed that our impulsive behaviour is sometimes addressed. We therefore think it would be nice to be able to do all those things we are not allowed to do in real life. There is no barrier on stage. In a playful manner we create a way of release for all our crazy impulses. It is a good thing to be surprised by something unexpected, and being able to let it happen.”
