A tragicomical mirror world full of strange duplications and dubious doppelgängers.

COPYRIOT is about the search for solid ground in a world that increasingly looks like a copy of a copy. Inspired by Charlie Kaufman’s films and by Dostoevsky’s absurdist short story The Double, Krapp wants to evoke a tragicomical mirror world full of strange duplications and dubious doppelgängers.

Although individuality appears to reign supreme, we are increasingly mistaken for our virtual doppelgängers: idealised ghosts that look a lot like us and – who knows – perhaps one day will become more ‘real’ than us.

Once again, Krapp tries to face the ‘monstrous’ with COPYRIOT. After dealing with paranoid cyborgs, gothic ghosts and the Devil himself, they now confront the biggest monster of modern times: the ego.

Duration: TBA

In Ghent

Zoom in

Krapp is the theatre collective of Mats Vandroogenbroeck, Nona Demey Gallagher and Timo Sterckx.

Together, they nurture a fascination for the entanglement of fact and fiction, of science and nonsense, of history and grotesque fantasy. Krapp continuously seeks out these kinds of baroque collisions. The result is substantive camp, historical hoax, critical kitsch.

Krapp is committed to creating new repertoire. They write and perform their own plays, hoping these texts will eventually take on a life of their own.

Krapp created the productions Through The Looking-Glass (and what we found there), with which they won the SABAM Young Playwriting Award at Theater aan Zee in 2019, Weird Tales (2021), and, together with KVS, De Duivels/Les Diables (2023).
