Mec Yek

Belgique

Théâtre National


Mec Yek is the adventure of Piet Maris and Jaune Toujours in gypsy country. Songs that pace everyday life back home are arranged far away from traditions and are blended with dub, ska and soul. These surprising compositions have succeeded in enchanting the Roma community to the extent that two Roma singers, Katia and Milka Pohlodkova, are now full-fledged members of the band after throwing themselves on stage at the end of a concert! Together, they try to find shared and multiple identities, an inter-culture constantly reinventing itself.
