In 'PANIC LUDIC', Sander De Cuyper brings discarded things back to life: strange, funny and full of absurd poetry. A small, disrupted world in which nothing is entirely lost. As long as someone still dares to play with it.
About the company
Cie Pol & Freddy was founded in 2006 by Sander De Cuyper and Bram Dobbelaere. Their shared love of innovative juggling, street theatre and absurd humour led to Ready!, a wildly funny performance in and around a tiny car.
Later productions included Le Cirque Démocratique de la Belgique, a humorous search for the limits of democracy and audience participation, and De Cuyper vs. De Cuyper, in which juggling brothers Sander and Jordaan faced off against each other. PANIC LUDIC premieres in 2026: Sander appears solo on the grass for the first time, while Bram directs from the sidelines.
