ob•joie

In Ob•joie, acrobat Josse De Broeck and percussionist Jef Callebaut perform on stage together. They are in a seemingly normal setting, surrounded by everyday objects. Josse plays these objects with strength and balance, Jef with sound and rhythm. When playing with these objects, they increasingly find a connection with each other. It becomes clear in a subtle manner that the objects lead a life of their own. They do not behave as they should: their centre of gravity is surprisingly different, a table falls apart, a cupboard makes strange sounds if you come too close, a broom refuses to fall over, ... Recognisable situations, but with a touch of magic.

Ob•joie is a visual circus performance without words, in which object manipulation, magie nouvelle and live sound go hand in hand. This results in humour as well as poetry. The audience will be amazed and wonder what’s going on.

Callebaut & De Broeck

Jef Callebaut and Josse De Broeck have known each other since childhood. They attended circus school together. Josse remained in the circus, while Jef pursued his other passion, percussion. Now that both of them have successfully launched their artistic careers, it's time to create something together.
