Monsieur Oe-oe has just returned and in his suitcase sat monkey and from now on his monkey goes to all parties and events more and more. You can now book Monsieur Oe-oe for your event through ShowBird and then monkey will come along!

Monsieur Oe-oe has just stepped off the plane. He comes from the tropics, where he researched ape behavior. Monkeys have no more secrets for him: they are fast, mischievous, sweet, soft, smart ánd.... can hide well in suitcases...

Monsieur Oe-oe's suitcase was stuffed with monkey. Hence, he now always brings his monkey to all parties and events. The researcher goes on to look for the behaviors of the monkey's descendants, but his colleague is often not too keen on that....

Because of the somewhat strange "gentleman" with his oh-so-cute monkey, this act is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a bit of theater. Do you look like a monkey? If so, Monsieur OeOe will soon discover you!
Very flexible, surprising and yet recognizable.

The price of this act is based on a performance of 4 x 40 minutes.

This act also has a name and is called Patrick van Horne. He is past 30 and a teacher by profession. This educational background makes it easy for him to stand in front of groups and animate them. Patrick has been doing animation since 2000, first as a clown, later the statues and walking acts were added. Patrick on his motivation:

"Acting and animating is in your blood, it always gives a kick to bring a successful act. I regularly try out new ideas, which is how the living statue came into being. That seems easy, but it's more subtle and measured work. You want to interact with your audience, so you have to feel it perfectly."

In 2012, Patrick decided to quit as clown Patje in order to put enough energy into his living statues and walking acts. Since then, Patrick has proven that he has earned his spurs. With the living statue of the textile tutor he won the Belgian championship in 2008 and became 2nd at the BeNeLux championship in Lommel the same year. The act 'I wood be (a statue)' also won prizes: in April 2014 Patrick won with this act the festival Borne op z'n Best (Nl.) as well as a third place at the living statue festival in Tegelen (Nl.). After that I Wood be a statue became first in Den Bosch, in Maastricht and Belgian champion living statue 2014. As icing on the cake, I Wood Be a Statue was allowed to walk away with a 2nd prize at Worldstatues 2014 in Arnhem.

In 2015 Patrick succeeded himself as Belgian champion with the act 'His past, mining past'. He was not only named the best Belgian statue, but also won the first prize of all participating statues.
