Horta Van Hoye

With nothing more than a roll of papercrumpled, ripped and folded Horta van Hoye creates a whole gamut of characters in the blink of an eye and brings them to life before your very eyes. All you need is a little imagination to see the careworn face of an old woman, the expression of an old man with wrinkled cheeks or the smile at the corner of a child's lips. And then, with just a few words and subtle humour, their creator takes the entire magical world to surprising places.

Paper comes to life, magic does its work and a story is born. Emotions appear on the faces stuck on the bodies fashioned out of crumpled paper. The audience is intrigued, astounded, amused and touched by the stories that Horta van Hoye tells to her fragile companions. We are only too happy to go along for the ride and make them real....
