What happens when you take someone's head off? Little, you will say, since the accompanying body dies. But then you are wrong. At the first GRIP night at Utrecht's Theater Kikker, the company showed Steven Michel namely seeing that the rest of the body then just takes over. Fascinating to notice how a bare back upside down with turquoise sports trousers above it automatically turns into a little doll. With weird little arms.
Jan Martens, the artist who these GRIP evenings has come up with, really only has one purpose in life, he replied beforehand to a question from the audience. Martens wants to make you look at the world differently. To offer an alternative eye. Well, on this first evening, we can say that mission has succeeded. Such a hilarious, yet at times hypnotic piece as Steven Michel's 'They Might Be Giants' is well worth the diversions at the full forty minutes. You may be surprised more often, this weekend.
