Edgar-Yves Jr.

Booking Required

Edgar-Yves Jr. performs a sharp, intimate stand-up that blends provocation and tenderness. He favors an unapologetically human voice — imprecise, awkward and touching — to examine identity, social expectations and the mechanics of laughter. The show alternates quick one-liners and longer personal stories, letting the performer build rapport and surprise. Minimal staging and direct address create an immediate, electric atmosphere that invites reflection as much as amusement.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
