WAOUW Theatre - FERTIK - musical clowning conference

Fertik is a resolutely catastrophic show, where nothing goes as planned. Instruments go missing, cables get tangled, costumes disappear: everything seems out of place, faulty, doomed to failure. Dysfunction is everywhere, omnipresent, transforming the stage into a veritable field of organised ruins. Tensions rise, arguments erupt, and chaos seems total.

Yet, at the heart of this apocalyptic disorder, something unexpected takes shape. Through failures, clumsiness and conflicts, collaboration eventually emerges, fragile but essential. Slowly, listening skills are developed, bonds are forged, and collective momentum regains its rightful place.

With humour, tenderness and a good dose of absurdity, this offbeat tragicomedy plays with the codes of failure to better reveal its beauty. Fertik invites us to laugh at chaos, to accept the unexpected and to believe, despite everything, in the strength of the group. An optimistic and deeply human show that restores faith in the future where all seemed lost.
