Thousands of fireflies glow and then disappear in the trees. Two people who are far from each other experience the same thing at the same moment. In Évidences inconnues, several events take place, eerily, simultaneously. The audience is plunged into doubt and amazement.

In this creation that is situated at the crossroads of theater and mentalism, the illusionist Kurt Demey defies fate. Accompanied by the double bassist Joris Vanvinckenroye, he invites the audience to investigate for themselves. They search and wonder, and they end up speechless. Why are these coincidences piling up? Is it pure magic?

This participatory performance is both funny and poetic, and it leaves no one indifferent. Even the most rational thinkers in the audience!
