| Description | Slapstick is a comedy based on over-the-top physical collisions, coincidences and antics. More often than not, someone gets hurt. In SLAP! we have approached this groping and hurting from many different angles. Sometimes comically, looking at humans as a kind of animal among others, sometimes through melancholy. Where is the line between funny and sad? When can we laugh at the collisions and when do we feel bad for the other? It seems that the line between funny and sad is often a line drawn in the water. SLAP! is perhaps, depending on the viewer, a comedy, a tragedy, or something in between - I don't always know myself. |
