What is it like to be a modernized man and a male? Is it a mission impossible?
The French speaking theater: “Ou sont les hommes?” gives the opportunity to immerse in the nature of man. It is a production of one of the most popular Brussels theatres: “Theatre de la Toison d’Or” (TTO). The play has been a great success in the Brussels theatrical performances since 2007.
The spectacle illustrates the life of a man in the XXIst century, who is a fantastic individual, half macho and half a heart of artichoke. How can a man be sensitive and delicate and stay a “real” man at the same time? The writers try to answer this question and make us realize the challenges facing the males in our modern societies. It is true, it is really a successful attempt.
Men will recognize themselves in this portrait. The writers also give women the opportunity to finally understand that strange creature: the man.
This bitter-soft story is comically challenging. Undoubtedly, fans of the typical Belgian comedy will be enchanted.
We highly advise you to be prepared for a magnificent evening!

MUSSELS & FRIES EVENINGS
Place: Sketch, 19 Foksal street, Warsaw
Date: 18-19.11.2010, 19:00
Organiser: Belgian Business Chamber
Cuisine partner: Sketch
Registration Form

The Belgians have been called a nation of gourmets, enthusiasts of delicate food. The historical cultural mix has give shape to a unique Belgian Cuisine, a compilation of local and imported traditions. The country’s culinary tradition has been passed passionately from generation to generation. Today Belgians are proud to say that their food is prepared with the French “finesse” and served with German generosity.
The varied nature of Belgium makes that each region has its own special dishes, but all Belgians agree on one issue - the national dish is “Mussels and Fries” or “Moules Frites”.
This world-famous dish called also “Moules Frites” is a big pot of mussels which are - originally - simply steamed in their own juice with a good portion of delicately fried celery, leaks and onions and served with crispy Belgian frites and homemade mustard sauce or mayonnaise. It is utterly divine.
Frites, known also as French fries, contrary to their name actually were invented in Belgium a long time ago - to know more about it see www.belgianfries.com. Thanks to a double deep fried process at different temperatures they obtain their perfect texture - crispy gold on the outside and delightful tender on the inside. Traditionally the frites are served in a paper cone accompanied with mayonnaise. They are sold at sidewalk stands called: Friture, Frituur or Frietkot.
The evening that we have the pleasure to offer you will give you the opportunity to taste these delicious Belgian Mussels and Fries and to share a special evening with friends, colleagues and business partners.

We wish you a pleasant and relaxed evening and “Bon appétit!”, “Eet smakelijk!”, “Gutten Apetit!”
