FUN FACTS:
Trash Day (white, yellow and blue) was written by a young local playwright and set in a Brussels context.
Homunculus was a sellout hit on stage in New York City, then became an independent film, which is now making the rounds of film festivals.
The Brussels production of Homunculus will represent Brussels at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. Follow along at: instagram.com/homunculus_26
ECC is the oldest anglophone theatre group in Brussels but takes pride in fostering and platforming the voices of these young playwrights and actors.
BLURBS:
TRASHDAY: A strange incident on a quiet night in Brussels on trash day propels three people into frantic moral reasoning about their lives and unresolved failures. What follows is a collision of talk, assumptions, and self-justifications. Trash Day (white, yellow and blue) is a dark comedy about guilt, projection, and the chaos we create when no one is willing to shut up.
HOMUNCULUS: It’s their umpteenth breakup, but this time feels different to artist and self-styled sorceress Mimi. The obvious solution? Sculpt an idol of her ex during a thunderstorm, and top it off with the foulest lovehate potion alchemy can brew! An “impish word-drunk play” giving “big laughs and sharp plot turns with confidence” (Rob Weinert-Kendt, American Theatre Magazine), Homunculus is a classic farce in modern verse, a romance for the ages, an explosion of creativity, and a monstrously good time.
ECC: Founded in 1909 as the English Comedy Club in Brussels, ECC is a cornerstone of the city’s vibrant anglophone theatre scene, where we co-founded and share the Warehouse Studio Theatre with the American Theatre Company and Irish Theatre Group. Each year we produce a range of work from a classic massive British Panto to new original comedy in our own blackbox.
