The show starts with the construction of the ‘Thing’, with several men in grey coats deciphering complicated plans, measuring the space and marking out the lines. In this way, at the tempo of the average council worker, the ‘Thing’ gradually takes shape. The musicians arrive and set up their instruments, the technical staff take their…

In Kabuski mag en kan wat anders niet kan en mag: spelen en al…
The next step for me & my toy army. The Jesus Creation Control Centre invades Nuuk, Greenland. Again not much of a resistance here. Temperature dough was not so ideal; but we survived.

“The trio Jonas Nachtergaele, Ruben Nachtergaele, and Kurt Stockman, aka Kapotski have become quite infamous for (re)appropriating unexpected technologies and artefacts for the creation of music. Kapotski (derived from the Dutch word for broken ‘kapot’) have elevated hacked toys, reverse engineered junk, and the peep and squeak of pre-historic kitchen and household appliances to an art form:…
