Le Sous Sol
he Sous Sol is the last part of Peeping Tom's first trilogy, which began with Le Jardin in 2002, followed by Le Salon in 2004. Le Sous Sol is a collective creation of the artists. The world premiere took place on March 28th 2007 at the Royal Flemish Theatre (KVS) in Brussels (BE). Between 2007 and 2009, the piece toured in Europe and Japan. In The Underground, the family members met in the previous parts are now dead and buried. They continue to live under the ground, but there are no more rules or conventions, all family hierarchy has disappeared. The Underground is inspired by Dostoyevsky's book, Bobok. Indeed, several dead characters meet to discuss. They talk about their death, the why and the how in their already traced destiny. The humor of the situations constitutes an important counterpoint. In this piece, the ancestors intervene even more intensely than before with the presence of the 80-year-old butoh dancer Maria Otal.
