« Gromic is a wonderful Clown.
Great pleasure to work with »

Jürgen Gschiel , INTERNATIONALE HUMORFESTIVAL VELDEN | Kapfenberg, Austria

«I welcomed Michaël Gromic to Sotteville after only being able to see the beginning of a small show at a festival. Suffice to say that I only had an intuition, and we know what that’s worth, sometimes…

First contact with an eminently sympathetic character, with an communicative, easy, charming good nature.

Then the meeting with an artist, made from the same dough as his civilian double, who exudes generosity, the desire to move mountains of spectators, this voracious appetite for encounters, this talent so simple and so rare to be and to ‘believe in.

On arrival, a packed audience, who still talk to me about it more than a month later with smiles in their voices.

The meeting took place. Thanks Gro!»

Dominique Jourdan, Viva Cité| Sotteville-lès-Rouen, France

« Working with Michael has been a true pleasure, from the moment we contacted him to seeing him on stage. He brought laughter to many families during our celebration and was very professional and flexible all during the planning phase! In just 3 days, Gromic made 6 sold out. »

Ayah M. Younis, Children’s Museum Jordan | Amman, Jordan

« I programmed Gromic outdoors during the Luluberlu Festival.

He performed three shows of The Tenderness of Laughter. The audience was truly charmed and thoroughly enjoyed the performance — both parents and children — especially during the second show, when the magic worked wonderfully between the participants invited on stage and the artist.

It was a beautiful addition to our program, and on top of that, he knows how to adapt perfectly to the venue and outdoor conditions.

I highly recommend Gromic for your festivals. »

Muriel Barral, FESTIVAL LULUBERLU |Odyssud Blagnac, France

« One of the very few shows I programmed in 2014 without having seen it beforehand — and I wasn’t disappointed!

Gromic invites us to a delightful moment, full of tenderness and poetry, in gentle interaction with his audience. »

Mireille Odena, FESTIVAL PARADE(S) | Nanterre, France

« We invite Gromic at our festival after seeing his material and we were sure that his performance will be great. And the audience was so much happy to see an amazing show.

The great ability of Gromic to act without words and to connect with the emotions of the audience, impressed us a lot.

A year has passed since Gromic was here, and still the audience remember the tricks and the funny humour of his performance, that conquered all the audience, the children and the adults.

To work with Michael was a great pleasure, he is a wonderful actor and a nice person, arranging to the organizer’s needs with a smile.

For sure we recommend his performance to all, and we hope he will have a big success all around the world and over…»

Andrea Tamagnini, FESTIVAL CALANCHI | Repubblic of San Marino

« Máaagia! was the first show of a series of four that occur during the month of July at the Civic Centre Cotxeres Borrell.

With Gromic we have had a good start, because we are convinced that thanks to the overall smooth running of the show, the audience went out very satisfied, ensuring spectators for the next editions.

At all times we saw very dedicated spectators to the the show, because the interpreter knows to connect from the beginning thanks to the endearing character that he develops and the pace of the entire function.

Show Highly recommended . »

Iolanda Escofet, CC COTXERES BORRELL| Barcelona, Spain

«Time flies, and it’s already been almost a week since Gromic came to visit us in Franche-Comté.

I want to thank him once again for his beautifully crafted, highly effective, and wonderfully tender performance.

The audience didn’t miss it — I’ve received only positive feedback, filled with a sense of joy and lightness.

His show is, in fact, a suspension of time — a journey into a world of softness and poetry, with a deeply moving quality that touches the spectators.

I noticed, at the end of the performance, how many children — and not only them — loved giving him a hug before he left.

For me, Gromic will remain a true hug factory.

A show to recommend to any audience in search of gentleness.

There you go — I had no trouble writing this message; it truly came from the heart.»

Hubert Muller, Cezam Bourgogne Franche-Comté| France

« The public on “ZomerZondagen” enjoyed your show! You had good contact with them, there was much laughter and many people came up spontaneously after to thank you for the nice presentation.

The contact you establish with the staff and organization is very nice, you are calm and clear, a very nice human being to handle.

So I can enthusiastically recommend you to other festivals, a fun family show for young and old! »

Antoinette van Hatten, ZOMERZONDAGEN FESTIVAL| Rotterdam, The Netherland

« We are delighted to have hosted Gromic for the fifth edition of “Festival Théâtres Nomades”.

It was a gamble because, except for the video, we had not seen the show we did not have a direct feedback but we are delighted by this discovery and this encounter.

We received a lot of feedback from the public. This was in love. Some excerpts:

• “A touching sight”

• “He manages to move us with two ping pong balls”

• “Simplicity and finesse”

• “Poetic and convincing”

• “Great stage presence”

We highly recommend you the ‘The Magomic Show! »

Louise Simon, FESTIVAL THÉÂTRES NOMADES | Brussels, Belgium

« A sensitive, funny and “very close” to people performance. The interaction with the audience was fantastic and their reaction was very positive.

Everyone I spoke with was talking about Gromic and so was a success hiring him for our event.

For us it was very pleasant to work with him, kind, friendly, open and above all nothing complicated, everything was very simple.

A success at all levels and strongly recommended for this type of festival. »

Pilar Calero, GAUKLERFEST | Attendorn, Germany

« I was a part of an enchanted audience watching two and a half shows of Gromic.

The way he is dealing with his audience, especially his helpers he is getting out of the crowd, shows a very warm and beautiful sense of humour.

Always a bit out of the ordinary Gromic can switch from tragedy to comedy, from poetic moments to absolute nonsense in a single breath, which is the real magic.

His tricks grab the audience in the first place, but it is his face, his expressions and the fun he has performing which gets the audience, no matter what age they are.

He is a very professional artist and it is a great pleasure to work with him. He is very open and a nice person to talk to.

I would recommend anybody who wants to work with good artists to get on the phone / mail and contact Gromic immediatly. But only if you will treat him good, because he deserves it!»

Marc-André Klotz, STAMP FESTIVAL | Hamburg, Germany

« Gromic is a special clown. He is elegant, sensitive, simple and delicate. He appeals to the intelligent complicity of the audience. It’s easy to make a crowd that is wanting to enjoy themselves laugh. The challenging part is making people laugh without vulgarity but with kindness and subtlety. It’s what gets Gromic.

At the “Huerta de San Vicente”, Museum-house of Federico García Lorca, Gromic displayed his sensitivity and his talent in front of nearly a thousand people. The public understood right away that would not see stakes and broad humor bang, but the finesse of a clean humour and accessible and intelligent and subtle. It was a total success.

One of the most interesting features of his shows is Gromic’s uses his own body (hands, fingers) and his face to make like a puppet. Puppet art making himself. »

Jesús Ortega, XIV VERBENA CON TITERES HUERTA DE SAN VICENTE | Granada, Spain

« Gromic’s Magomic Show for children is really extraordinary. With a few props and an I-pod Gromic makes a very funny and entertaining show for young and old.

His sketches are well- made and – thought off. He’s also very gentle with his audience, very subtle and recognises detail in his artistic creation. The show leaves the audience with a very happy and warm feeling afterwards.

Michaël is a very kind person, someone you can count on. If you are searching for visual comedy in your programming, don’t hesitate to contact Gromic.»

Maia Vandenbossche, SPEKKEN THEATER FESTIVAL | Gand, Belgium

« As a programmer of the Street Theatre Festival De Ronde Venen in Mijdrecht, the Netherlands, we have the policy to look for a change. It is, looking for artist that are not very well known in public and are not sold through artist agencies. This always implies some risk for the programmer.

In the case of Gromic: he exceeded my expectations in the way he involved the audience in his show. He played with kids as easily as with adults in his show. Using no words, only great expressions.

Before the show, Gromic takes everything serious. He checks the availability of the sound systems, checks the best position on the stage. So that, when the show is scheduled: he is there, and performs as a real professional.

We have loved his show. He was capable to attract large number of people (100-200) and keep their attention. A great show! »
