·10 min·1 clip

Belgian artists Alice On The Roof and Mustii discuss their surreal children's play about a suppository trying to escape its fate.

The episode begins with host Martin Buxant introducing guests Alice On The Roof and Mustii, two Belgian artists known for music but here to discuss a theater production. The play, starting on Valentine's Day at the Clas cultural centre, is a children's tale about a suppository named Paul who dreams of escaping his pharmaceutical fate. It is based on a comic by Alex Vizorek and Caroline Allan, which has sold over 60,000 copies and is being translated internationally. Mustii describes the story as absurd and risky, comparing it to 'Toy Story' or 'Alice in Wonderland', with a mix of original songs and pop culture references. Alice On The Roof serves as the narrator, a role she embraced after reading the comic and finding it compelling. She notes this is her first theater experience, and she is learning from observing the process. Mustii plays multiple characters, including the suppository, a thermometer, and a ball of Kies, highlighting the visual and costume-driven aspects of the show. The play targets a family audience, with visual elements for children and layered jokes for adults. Alice discusses her transition from music to theater, admitting the discipline of acting is challenging compared to her concert performances. Mustii reflects on his career, stating he considers himself more an actor who makes music, and emphasizes the value of being multidisciplinary. He briefly mentions his Eurovision experience, noting he would do it again but with changes. The conversation shifts to the theme of destiny, with Alice suggesting that while we can't always escape it, we can detour or sublimate it through important life choices. The episode ends with details about the play's run and a lighthearted sign-off.
