For 'SCHERP', Ief Gilis and Steven Wouters collect the stories behind knives. You bring a knife, Steven listens and takes notes, while Ief sharpens it again.
This creates an intimate encounter around craft, memory and what people keep. The most beautiful stories will form the basis for a new performance, to be seen from 2027 onwards.
About the company
De Wenkbrauwerij creates projects in which stories, heritage, craft and encounter are central. Ief Gilis and Steven Wouters previously realised Postino and Taterwater, heritage projects in which personal stories, local history and community-building reinforce one another.
In 'SCHERP' too, they start from a craft tradition, using concrete objects to touch on identity, memory and connection.
