Last Monday, July 8, Släpstick received a prestigious Award from the renowned Daegu International Musical Festival (DIMF) in South Korea. The group was honored with the award for Best International Production, in recognition of its exceptional talent and creative achievements.

The DIMF, which was organized for the 18th time this year, is a leading festival in Asia and plays an important role in the international theater world. The award ceremony marks a milestone for Släpstick and underlines their international success and artistic impact.

Because the artists of Släpstick were already on their way to the Netherlands at the time of the award ceremony, the award was received on behalf of the group by their agent Angella Kwon of “AtoBiz ltd”.

Släpstick has announced that they will definitely travel to South Korea again in the coming years to perform at the DIMF festival in Daegu as well as in other cities in South Korea. This will further strengthen her bond with the Asian audience and their international career.

Music lovers in South Korea can rejoice, as Släpstick is bringing its sensational show Schërzo to South Korea. From 28 to 30 June 2024, Släpstick will play four shows at the Daegu International Musical Festival. Släpstick’s new show Schërzo celebrated its world premiere in Edinburgh in the summer of 2023. Now it’s the turn of South Korean audiences to be immersed in the virtuosity and versatility of these talented artists. Släpstick plays at the Suseong Artpia, one of the larger venues of the festival. This is a first for Släpstick and a unique opportunity for the South Korean audience to experience the magic of Schërzo.

Dear Stay-at-Homers,
To match the spirit of the present “roaring twenties”, we pulled out all the stops in order to record a new single and clip – and it’s done! In cooperation with Our “Dear” friend and musical star Cystine Carreon.

The world is going through strange times indeed, and through it all we contributed our bit on www.cultuurinactie.nl (still available online for the whole week!). Theater, and all other forms of art and culture, will still play an important role in the times to come, as they always have.

The COVID-19 pandemic affects all of us. For us, that unfortunately means that we have had to suspend our tour for an indeterminate amount of time.

Between the 13th and the 15th of March our Släpstick show will take the podium at the magnificent Opera House in Wellington New Zealand, as part of the New Zealand Festival of the Arts! A festival chockfull of dance, music, theater and comedy, performed by unbelievably talented artists. We’ve already loaded our instruments and props on the airplane on Tuesday, and we’ll be chasing them down a week later. We’ll keep you posted!
