Walking on the Champs-Elysées
with a turtle in order to view the world
in a better way,
but it is difficult to drink tea on an iceberg
when everyone is drunk.
FC Bergman

‘Walking on the Champs-Elysées…’ is a visual performance, loosely based on the ‘Divina Commedia’ by Dante Alighieri (in which the author describes his journey to the middle of the hell). FC Bergman battles with Dante’s devils in the company of forty extras, several chickens, a sheep and a couple of bunnies.

FC Bergman is a brand new company with roots in the Herman Teirlinck Institute. In a short period of time they have developed an own theatrical language, which is not only anarchistic and slightly chaotic, but above all extremely visual and poetic.

By and with: Stef Aerts, Joé Agemans, Bart Hollanders, Matteo Simoni, Thomas Vertstraeten, Marie Vinck and others. In coproduction with: Brakke Grond, de Buren, Monty, Huis van Bourgondië and the Theatermaker. With support of: Dommelhof Limburg, De Warande Turnhout and Over het IJ-festival
