About us
Theater Muto is a Belgian-Flemisch circuscompanie founded by Stef Geers.
Our performances are wordless, mute, non-verbal, with origins from the silent movie (Italy). In our contemporary way, we combine clowning, object manipulation and humour.
Who's who?
Stef Geers is the driving force behind Theatre Muto. Street theatre performer since 1992, from 2004 to 2020 played worldwide with Circo Ripopolo with the shows ‘Fazzoletto’, ‘A Rovescio’ and ‘Dopo Ripopolo’ at circus and other festivals. He is a master brainstormer, regularly coaches other performers, and teaches non-verbal theatre workshops.
Fien Geers published her own collection of poems, plays with spoken word and creates lyrics for cabaret artists. She has now also caught the non-verbal microbe with the father-daughter performanceg ‘Nest’. Like everyone at Theatre Muto, she helps build sets and props. She is training as a furniture upholsterer.
Kobe Ruysen is our in-house photographer, does the graphic design for the performances and is jack-of-all-trades, our third eye.
Lieve Lenaers is the ‘mother hen’ of the group. She keeps the overview, guards the bigger picture and makes sure we keep both feet firmly on the ground, even with our heads in the clouds.
