Kortrijk, The heavy fire in the new pool, where the five water slides and the tower went up in flames, inspires the Kortrijk Revue. “We didn’t brandversnellers, single-use lubricant”, a joke the writers. The Revue is on the rise, with last year 3.208 visitors. There is now even more people are expected. The Revue supports a humanitarian mission in the Philippines in South-east Asia.
The 28th City Revue just might be serious about the reeds can go in the city. Because the schrijverscollectief of the Revue dropped this time inspired by the heavy fire, which at the end of February on the Mandelaplein on Meadow, five water slides and the tower of the new swimming pool in the axis is explained. That went like this. “The new pool would certainly have a role in the new revue,” says author Tom Boury. “I couldn’t believe when I read the news about the fire heard. Which does not mean that I have the scenario completely had to rewrite it, because there was not much on paper (laughs). All joking aside: there were fortunately no injuries and all in all walked into the fire. We don’t think someone is going to get excited, that the zwembadbrand discussed. The Revue starts with a VRT camera crew on Meadow. They are not for the high fees or the expensive parking lots of the pool, but in order to make a recording for an episode of ‘The Chair’, with a to win race to the Tyrol in Austria. More say we not. Come for the story to the Revue.”
Youth reach
The representations of the City Revue came to watch last year 3.208 spectators to the theatre on the theatre Square. That is beautiful. “The rise is already a few years in a rising line, especially by the mouth-to-mouth,” says president Guy Leleu. “And our approach to the youth to reach – young people up to 16 years pay since last year, only 5 euro entrance work really. So challenged there last year and fifteen percent more families with children. New this time in the field of communication is the start of a Facebook page, where immediately a lot of interest in. We trust that the new City Revue even more people up,” says Guy Leleu. For the absolute record we have to go back to the late 90s of last century, when there 4.382 spectators were and the impressive municipal theatre during each performance was full.
