A Possibility of an Abstraction
A Possibility of an Abstraction
Sat 14.05 - Sun 15.05.16

The Dutch artist Germaine Kruip transforms the theatrical space into a ‘field of cinematic experience’. Shadow, reflection, architecture, and stage become the characters in a filmic experience created in the moment itself.

Capture my body

As a trauma patient, Fumiyo Ikeda is given inventive treatment by her therapist Frank Focketyn. Full body motion capture registers all her movements, as she repeatedly experiences and pushes away her memories and emotions. She feverishly steers her digital representation, hoping to come to an accommodation with it and thus emerge from her trauma. As always, Eric Joris and CREW play with your perceptions. In the meantime, Peter Verhelst’s text unravels trauma and the impossibility of intimacy.

Enjoy the revival of one of Stuart's most lavish performances!

CANCELLED - Susan Neiman will be replaced by David Van Reybrouck
 
The world is in the midst of change, while at the same time there is little that can be changed. There is a great temptation to sit back cynically and do nothing – but isn’t that simply a form of laziness. Should we not argue for a mature idealism, as the American writer and moral philosopher Susan Neiman does?

Zonder Bloed
Wed 13.04 - Fri 15.04.16

In the midst of a brutal act of revenge, a boy and a girl exchange looks. Unwittingly, and without saying a word, their lives become inextricably linked. Inne Goris has adapted Alessandro Baricco's novel about the impact of war and the shared destiny of perpetrator and victim. This universal tale of revenge and grief explicitly poses the question: is reconciliation possible?

For the first time we welcome the Spanish dramatist, writer and performer Angélica Liddell to the Kaaitheater. Her use of powerful imagery made her the revelation at the 2010 Avignon Festival. She is sometimes described as the female Rodrigio Garcia, that other big name in Spanish avant-garde theatre. Black humour and religious symbolism find a prominent place in her work.

AND YOU MUST SUFFER / St.John Passion/Bach
Thu 10.03 - Sat 12.03.16

Pierre Audi locates Bach's St. John Passion in an austere set inspired by Wim Delvoye's images. The passion questions the opposing claims on the truth found in religions and the conflicts it causes. Iconoclast Delvoye looks right through these truths with X-ray eyes, reducing them to a meagre pile of mouse bones.

Eric Sleichim takes a closer look at Russian Futurism. His partners in crime are the versatile singer Claron McFadden, cellist Jörg Brinkmann and turntable wizard Matthew Wright. Russian Futurism disconnects language from substantive meaning, accompanied by merry song, recitation and shouting. Experience a concert like an unstoppable factory happening!

Wed 24.02.16

Looking at someone can have ‘kinaesthetic’ effects on you. The choreographer and philosopher Noé Soulier seeks out this feeling for movement in everyday actions. Actions that the dancers initiate, but do not complete. Just as in the martial art of jujitsu – one of Soulier’s sources of inspiration – you discern extremely precise, sensually entangled bodies.
