EEN KLAP VOOR JE KOP (DAAR KNAP JE VAN OP) (2012)

“When Thomas met Julie” is a bizarre romantic comedy on stilts. With this clumsy love story, Theater Gajes brings a performance about being happy without excelling.

Thomas is the awkward owner of a sauna complex. When one day the French beauty Julie pays him a visit, he falls for her instantly. In his attempts to woo her, quite a few things go wrong and the sanitary facilities don’t seem to cooperate either. Is Thomas good enough the way he is?

“When Thomas met Julie” is a musical and comedic street theater production where the audience is thrust into the middle of Thomas’ bizarre world. Actors on stilts in strange costumes and one sanitary inconvenience after another make the performance an adventure for young and old.
