“*asses.masses* is coming to GHENT in Flemish!” So says [the announcement the show posted to Instagram on October 7](https://www.instagram.com/p/DeL-yZFjj5l/?ref=killscreen.com), and the last two words are the news. On Saturday, November 7, at 1 p.m., Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim’s game about a herd of unemployed donkeys takes over the Domzaal at [VIERNULVIER](https://www.viernulvier.gent/en/agenda/patrick-blenkarn-milton-lim-czs7?ref=killscreen.com), the arts center in Ghent’s De Vooruit building, and holds it until about 10 p.m.: one controller, a room of strangers, 10 episodes, four intermissions, dinner included.
