GENT – De Kampioenen blijven scoren. Niet zozeer op het gras, maar wel al 36 jaar lang en bij meerdere generaties op tv. En die fans krijgen nu een zeldzame, goudparelende dagschotel toegediend, in de vorm van een uitvoerige cast-reünie met liefst 9 leden van de hoofdcast. Het speelveld: het popcultuurfestival FACTS in Flanders Expo, op zondag 1 november, dat voorts ook nog lokale helden als K3, Jommeke, Suske en Wiske, Nero en de eerste ‘Nonkels’-strip in het voetlicht plaatst.

Liefst 9 Kampioenen betreden op zondag 1 november het fantasy-evenement FACTS voor een signeersessie, een podium-panel en een ontmoeting met de fans. Danni Heylen, Herman Verbruggen, An Swartenbroekx, Marijn Devalck, Loes Van den Heuvel, Ann Tuts, Ben Rottiers, Tuur De Weert en Jaak Van Assche schuiven mee aan.

Het podium-panel staat onder leiding van een beroemde superfan.

VLAAMSE POPCULTUUR

Het raakvlak tussen deze Vlaamse parel en het fantasy- en scifi-festival FACTS is groter dan je op het eerste gezicht zou denken. “FC De Kampioenen is een geijkte tv-serie die al drie decennia meerdere generaties massaal weet te verbinden en bekoren, van de zelf getapete cassettes in de 90’s tot de hedendaagse streamingservices. Tot op vandaag scoren de heruitzendingen van alle seizoenen nog tot mooie kijkcijfers en is het zelfs de tweede meest bekeken serie op VRT Max, het streamingplatform van de VRT”, zegt Anthony Audenaerd, FACTS’ showmanager. “Dat is de essentie: mensen met eenzelfde passie samenbrengen en die fandom op een originele manier op een voetstuk zetten."

"Popcultuur omvat niet alleen de grote internationale franchises, maar even fel ons gevierde Vlaams erfgoed, en maar weinig andere series zijn zo iconisch als FC De Kampioenen. En met de al even gevierde stripreeksen – waarvan de hoofdreeks in 1997 begon – is de link met FACTS al helemaal gelegd.”

In de signeersessie geven de Kampioenen de kans om de nieuwe verzamelbox van ‘Wat je niet zag op tv’-stripreeks te laten handtekenen. Dat zijn de verhalen van het laatste onuitgevoerde televisieseizoen van 2020.

K3 EN NONKELS

Nog meer Vlaamse trots? Op zaterdag 31 oktober komen acteur Manu Van Acker, scenarist en cartoonist Lectrr en tekenaar Louis Clement de eerste strip van de Play-serie Nonkels voorstellen. Op zondag 1 november stelt K3 hun nieuwe album en theaterproductie ‘Superhelden’ voor. En tekenaars van Jommeke, Suske en Wiske en Nero staan klaar om (hand)tekeningen te zetten in strips van fans.

Wie zin heeft in een rondje Vlaamse nostalgie (en internationale popcultuur), houdt zaterdag 31 oktober en zondag 1 november vrij voor een trip naar Flanders Expo in Gent. De Kampioenen-cast komt op zondag 1 november op bezoek. Kinderen jonger dan 11 jaar komen gratis binnen. Tickets & info: www.facts.be/nl.
