A famous actor feels that his memory, the home of the soul, is slowly breaking down. He decides to end his life in a reality show with a worldwide audience: ‘The Art of Entertainment’. Until the bitter end he continues to play his role. The art of entertainment thus unfolds as an entertainer’s apologia and a conversation about the decadence of the Occident. A Monty Python style comedy: absurd, black, sharp, incisive.

The audience sits on all three sides of an equilateral triangle. In the middle, six dancers circulate. The performance, which premiered at the Kaaitheater last season, is a brilliant piece of choreography on three-part paradigms from science, art and philosophy. A Dance for the Newest Age (the triangle piece) is focused on dance, insatiable and greedy. ‘Everything comes: bring it on!’

Drumming (1998) is undoubtedly one of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s most fascinating choreographic works: a dazzling dance set to a powerful score for percussion by Steve Reich, performed. The Ictus Ensemble bring this compelling score to life with breath-taking precision. Drumming is a stunning journey, a wave of pure dance and pure sound, a vortex of life energy.
