On the final performance day of the 2018-2019 season, we fire up the barbecue, invite Sinister Sister for a contemporary rendition of Béla Bartók's music, and finally give DJ Bob van Langendonck carte blanche at the decks. What's not to love?

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Within a series of small compositions, bodies are placed and displaced in relation to each other. Playing with weight and balance, they counterbalance and shape the space between them. In the margin of the performance, Wouter Krokaert also shows the visual work that underlies it. What is explored in one area is reinforced and supplemented in another, across the boundaries of disciplines.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Inspired by the essay in the tradition of writer Michel de Montaigne, Anneleen Keppens presents three ‘movement essays’, each placing a fundamental aspect of abstract choreography at the centre.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Kasper Vandenberghe climbs on a scaffolding clad in a protective suit and then drops down like a rock. It is calculated recklessness. It is a poetic search for how vulnerable we can still allow ourselves to be and how we can understand vulnerability as a force. It is dancing on the loose rope between two deeply human desires: the desire for balance versus a bottomless leap into the unknown.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Emi Kodama and Elias Heuninck encourage you to look at an ordinary object and explore a vast imagined landscape through its miniature world. They show that everything can become many things, as long as you allow your imagination to look beyond its current reality.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — We are shaped by an infinity of reflections, like a rainbow. This immersive installation – literally – reflects our differences and multiple identities. Inspired by The Conference of the Birds by the Persian poet Farid ud-Din Attar, Fakoor reflects on the myth of a clear-cut national identity and the celebration of difference.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — The inhabitants of the village of Moshenka, who try to breathe life into the dilapidated cultural centre, witness a rural Russia in transformation between forgotten traditions and post-war trauma. This documentary installation by Niko Hafkenscheid and Valentina Stepanova wants to enter the vast, physical space of the Russian backlands and question what can you dream of today in Moshenka.

Five dancers – including Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker herself – adapt, question and dance Bach’s six Cello Suites, performed by the world-renowned cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. Their ingenious architecture, rhythmic vitality and timeless beauty continue to fascinate people today.
