Thu 24.06 - Sat 26.06.10

The choreographer Panaibra Gabriel and image-maker Walter Verdin hope to make GUESTS a comprehensible, even moving performance that does not get stuck in high-tech experiments and effects. The theme is communication. Can we communicate with others without losing our identity? It is preceded by a workshop in which guest dancers are selected. They are given the opportunity to personally test and manipulate the system.

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 010 - On stage a stack of torn books, a screen spits out random images. What starts out as a discussion about pizzas can suddenly continue with a history lesson, switches from flamenco to post-punk, from reflections on love to comments on the relation between humiliation and the economy. The director Rodrigo García – last year at our Performatik festival – seems to ask: what are we to do, say what we think, withdraw, or take part? And what if our actions were in vain?

Sat 08.05 - Wed 12.05.10

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 010 - The starting point of ZERO is the body as tabula rasa: a body with no memory, no past, no future, which performs each movement as if for the first time; a tool with neither purpose nor function. ZERO explores the relation between memory and the body, its bearings and reflexes, with remarkable physical intelligence.

Fri 23.04 - Sat 24.04.10

In her previous pieces, Charlotte Vanden Eynde often used objects and video, coming close to the boundary of visual art. In I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story she gives shape to her associative visual idiom in pure movement and dance, and seeks out the ‘image’ and poetry of movement.

Sat 27.03 - Sun 28.03.10

East African VJs translate foreign films into local languages, taking the liberty of entertaining their audience with their own interpretation of the films. Esther Mugambi acts as this sort of VJ, mediating the visual imagery and the subtext as it shifts about and adding her own commentary to splice reality and fiction.

Sun 28.03.10

(BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS) by the American dancer and choreographer Eleanor Bauer is a dance performance on grandeur and vulnerability, hubris and humility, about living large when less is more but more is also unmistakably more. Bauer invites you on a safari expedition into the depths of the surface-oriented world of the performer. Self-expression drops the self and expression takes over.

Thu 25.03 - Sat 27.03.10

With Marzipan or Plexi Marijs Boulogne has created a production that combines the narrative character of a fairy tale with a musical (text, music, dance) and the intractability of a performance. A fairy tale about ‘hunger’: desire, (female) ecstasy, symbiosis and sexuality.

The Cypriot Maria Hassabi, who lives in New York and is appearing in our country for the first time, has made this portrayal of the female body in art and popular culture the subject of her SoloShow. She has merged hundreds of iconic images seamlessly together and with aesthetic precision and extreme physicality developed them into a live installation.

Robert Steijn plays a woman who believes devoutly in everything she does. He becomes a Martha Graham and thereby reaps great success, until he goes out of fashion and takes to drink. He dies, but is reincarnated as a Trisha Brown, who takes a postmodern approach to seeking contact with a new audience. An absurdly comical musical on suffering, working hard and living as a diva.

Thu 21.01 - Fri 22.01.10

In Springville we witness the constant metamorphosis of a small world. Characters, half human, half object, attempt to function with and in the proximity of one another. They play a moving game of chaos, expectation and surprise. Scenography, costumes, props and characters are closely interwoven and merge together. The image prevails. A performance with references to slapstick.

performance

Wed 20.01 - Wed 20.01.10

Under the title Big Heap / Mountain, Miet Warlop creates a number of ‘propositions’ regarding what can and cannot be perceived. For each of these propositions, she looks for one or more partners in crime. She explores the boundaries of our imagination with a small arsenal of everyday objects and shows us how much fantasy we put into our struggles with reality.

Thu 14.01 - Sat 16.01.10

Kris Verdonck quite often combines his fascination with machines with images and concepts that owe a lot to science fiction. This certainly applies to the three-part Actor #1, a performance about evolving: about what has come into being, what is, and what may come into being. Three variations on the metamorphosis from chaos to order. The three parts of the performance are shown in separate rooms at the Kaaistudios, and a guide takes you from one to the other.

English dancer-choreographer Jonathan Burrows and Italian musician-composer Matteo Fargion have created and performed together a number of exceptionally witty and intelligent duets. Their trilogy Both Sitting Duet, The Quiet Dance and Speaking Dance was presented several times at the Kaaitheater. Burrows and Fargion are currently working on a new production.

Fri 04.12 - Sat 05.12.09

When you go to see every now and then, you are given a book of photos at the start. For the whole duration of the piece the audience can read through the pages and the ‘spaces’ of the book at the same time as they follow what is taking place on stage. The individual reading combined with a collective experience results in a performance in several layers. The piece unfolds through the turning of pages, and the fantasy and imagination of the experience of a space, of a time, of a performance.

Fri 27.11 - Fri 27.11.09

Mette Ingvartsen creates artificial landscapes that evaporate, dissolve and transform, using such ephemeral materials as light, sound, bubbles and foam. In Evaporated Landscapes, choreography no longer signifies the arrangement of physical movements in space, but the relationship between the ephemeral elements that magically flow and dissolve in space.

The glamour of the musical, the directness of stand-up comedy, the concreteness and sharpness of her wit, which we already saw in Kate McIntosh’s previous work, are back in Dark Matter. The performance is an attempt to stage philosophical issues in a style full of showbiz glamour, and popular scientific experiments.

Theatre company STAN will be twenty years old in the autumn of 2009. To celebrate the event, STAN will invite a large number of friends and kindred spirits to share the stage with them for a night and a day: theatre makers, dancers, musicians,… An ‘impromptu’ marathon of 24 hours.

Using text and sound, the Croatian Barbara Matijević and the Italian Giuseppe Chico offer an associative, personal view of their 1989. Their material consists of authentic and fictional audio documents either made in 1989 or related to it by content: pop songs, the Eurovision Song Contest – in 1989 won by Yugoslavia! – excerpts from radio and TV shows, private recordings and so on.

Various elements come together in the solo Hooman Sharifi is creating for Spoken World: the need to dig deeper into his own biography and into the condition of the emigrant in general. A performance about Iranian coffee grounds in which one can read the future, about the aroma of Lebanese bread, about being in transit in the world…

Two dancers from Russia have a mission: to become the new sensation in Western theatres. They tell their life stories with pop songs, dance and pantomime. Made in Russia is a spectacle about spectacle: a heated post-communist struggle between cultural clichés from East and West.

Opening the Spoken World festival, Lin Yilin will create the new performance Chronicle. Outside the Kaaitheater he will build a brick wall. Passers-by will be invited to dismantle it, brick by brick.

The Slavs and Tatars collective seeks out the bond between Slavs, Caucasians and Central Asians, and polemics too. For their performance at Spoken World, classics and cult songs from pop history are rewritten and pieced together to create a performance-concert on territorial disputes, languages issues and other controversial questions from Eurasia.
