Cie thank you for coming

Once upon a time...
Created in Brussels in 2011 on the whim of Sara Amari, the Cie Thank you for Coming was born out of an urgent need to create "right here and now".

Look, there's some blood sausage!
So, without any warning, the first show was born: Boudin & Songs (a duo of women who love men and pork), a punk-java-feminist musical street show invented in the street, the real one, the one that doesn't lie. On the road for now 4 years, this joyful cry of rage has been heard during 150 performances in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. From this urgency, we have kept the taste of doing with little. Thus, we like to explore theatrical creation in a way similar to a primal act: a man stands up, he speaks, and possibly someone listens to him. But what to do to be heard?

Word, Word, Word
Interactivity, taste for irreverence and actor performance are the loudspeakers of our voice. In the absence of large sets, we drape ourselves in the taste of words. From the slang of François Villon to the logorrhea 2.0 of the kaï-ras d’la Téci, there is the hunger for a language that we want to be abundant, jargon-filled, slangy, regional, éséméstique, verlanistic. Like a hungry ogre, we seek the words of the street for the street. Then, the mix of disciplines adds to our work. Music, opera singing, puppetry, performance, and improvisation: everything is good to be heard.

In Brussels, the inhabitants of the city call themselves the Zinneke, Brussels dialect to designate a street dog: a mutt. Perhaps the Cie Thank you for Coming is simply the child of its city? A team of mutts, proud of its mixed identity and close to the common man.

In short, the Cie Thank you for Coming is dedicated to the performing arts, it plays the card of experimentation and mixing of theatrical and musical forms, and is happy to advance its research through the encounter with its audience. That's why it's called THANK YOU FOR COMING
