Tue 26.06 - Wed 27.06.12

Every two years a new generation of dancers and choreographers graduates from the PARTS dance school in Brussels, which was founded and is headed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. One invariably sees these young artists appearing soon afterwards with fresh perspectives on dance and performance. The international tour of their graduation pieces always gives an exciting foretaste of what’s to come.

Fri 15.06 - Sat 16.06.12
Working Title Platform #4 - Alma Söderberg makes choreographies that include music, sound, rhythm and singing in relation to movement and dance. In her solo work that resulted in the piece Cosas and will be followed by TRAVAIL, a practice of collecting fragments of image, text or anything else that might catch ones attention while reading the newspaper is the foundation of a sound and movement collage.

Working Title Platform#4 - The formula of Performance Kit is pretty clear; a performer enters the stage, performs a solo and gets challenged by questions through an audio score. Nevertheless the outcome is way more complex; it’s a show, a practice, an audio-guide, an analysis, it entails research and searches for hidden treasures at the same time.

Fri 15.06.12

Working Title Platform#4 - Dolores Hulan works around the idea of layering and constructing scenes
that ceaselessly aim to give a new definition and turn to events at any
given moment.
The work constructs and deploys itself through the multi layering of its
various elements - movement, costume, sound and light – which
eventually all share the same weight in the work.

Jolika Sudermann and Alma Söderberg noticed that when we speak to each other we are actually singing and dancing with each other. A Talk is a light but virtuoso game of word compositions and language improvisation, performed by a charming and refreshing female duo!

The Extra Sensorial Garden is a fictional garden that has been artificially created to stimulate the visitor’s sensory system and evoke strong physical experiences. There is not always a lot to see, but instead there’s a lot to be sensed.

The Swedish-German performance artist Eva Meyer-Keller is obsessed with food. In Death is certain (in the Kaaistudio’s in 2007) she condemned a number of vegetables to death. Now she’s cooking up a series of disasters. She will be bringing them to you live, using soup, juice, sauce and other ingredients. How hungry does an earthquake make you?

Alexander Nieuwenhuis recently went to Colombia to construct a completely auto-sustainable theatre-space with that could be transported by bike. He entered into dialogue with the indigenous people and gathered their incredible stories about all sorts of things. You can hear from the man himself how far his research took him. You will cycle with him to his inflatable theatre somewhere in the Brussels area.

Very occasionally, something makes your hair stand on end. Nick Steur’s FREEZE! is just such a performance: small in scale, big on ideas. Nick Steur creates a pile of natural stones. He doesn’t use any glue or trickery, just intense concentration and ‘a balance between my own willpower and that of the stone’.  FREEZE!, won the KBC Young Theatre Prize 2011 at Theater Aan Zee.

It all started in my garage, when I was listening to a radio programme about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This turned out to be the first step on a winding path where I came across a white bear, a green plant, and lots of folks answering to the name of Robert. Robert Plant is the result of this spiritual journey...

With a sharp instrument he cuts pieces out of the photos: glaciers, sea-beds, natural panoramas, flowers, plants, animals, all things that might be threatened with extinction or have already become extinct. The Italian artist Cristian Chironi dissects images and structures and creates new and contrasting relationships. He wants the viewer to have the same reaction as to a perfect masterpiece of art, because he wonders whether we aren’t all tourists looking at the Himalayas with a cheeseburger in our hands.

Opening Night - The Austrian actress Anna Mendelssohn incorporates dozens of talks, debates and interviews about climate change into a monologue that explores the full complexity of the subject. A mosaic of meanings that both moves us and makes us think, thanks to the richness of her theatrical talent.

An American of Korean origin, Young Jean Lee develops theatre that destabilises cultural representations of identity and refers us back to our own stereotypes. This time she tackles the politics of gender. Featuring six charismatic female theoreticians and performers, Untitled Feminist Show humorously undermines the social constructs of the masculine and the feminine.

The charismatic performer Benoît Lachambre transforms on stage like a moulting animal. But is he in a mode of regression or one of advanced evolution? Or do these terms relate more to a society that has lost any sense of the future?

Kate McIntosh is already known for performances such as Dark Matter and Hair from the Throat, evidence of a rich, somewhat bizarre imagination and superior craftsmanship. In Untried Untested,
she once again goes hard at it. The performers test various materials
and each other and so find themselves in situations that are often
funny, frequently unexpected and sometimes downright dangerous.

What is personal? How do you present it or express it in artistic work? Christine De Smedt took these and other questions to fellow choreographers Jonathan Burrows, Alain Platel, Xavier Le Roy and Eszter Salomon. On the basis of these interviews, she created portraits of four artists which evolve into a portrait of herself.

Thu 12.04 - Fri 13.04.12

In 1880, the French socialist politician Paul Lafargue, son-in-law of Karl Marx, wrote the satirical treatise Le doit à la paresse. If he were to return to our world today, he would shake his head in astonishment. What value does our society attach to relaxation, rest, silence, sleep and laziness? What influence can theatre have on your mental attitude? Fortunately, we have theatre-maker and artist Kris Verdonck and dancer and choreographer Alix Eynaudi who lovingly lull you to sleep in EXIT ...

Fri 13.04.12

Led by the director and artist Ann Van de Vyvere (Firma Irma), a group of
‘observers’ has been studying reality in all its forms. Together, they bring surrealism to reality. How can we be sure of what we know? How do we measure what is normal and what is not? Hocus Focus explores the boundary
between the enthralling reality and real science.

Fri 23.03 - Sat 24.03.12

The intention behind nothing’s for something is to make the
hidden moments in life visible and expose the reality behind the visible
world. Their sources of inspiration are Paul Klee, who danced while he
painted, Rainer Maria Rilke, the perfectionist of form and method, and
Georges Perec, the master of stories of everyday life. In nothing’s for something,
Avdal and Shinozaki go back to their roots and allow the experiences of
their site-specific projects to permeate this production for larger
theatres.

Crew’s ‘immersive theatre’ penetrates inside the spectator’s body. He or

There are two themes in Terra Nova: the expedition to the South Pole early last century and recent research on the human brain.

For the past ten years the choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer
Matteo Fargion have been creating a furore with their deceptively simple
but humorous, virtuoso duets where dance and music enter into an
exciting relationship. Counting to One Hundred completes their second trilogy and plays breathtakingly with rhythm and counterpoint.

Wed 08.02.12

For the past ten years the choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer
Matteo Fargion have been creating a furore with their deceptively simple
but humorous, virtuoso duets where dance and music enter into an
exciting relationship. Cheap Lecture is a rhythmic spoken performance set to
music, a tirade about empty hands, audiences, time, repetition and dance
and a few other things. The Cow Piece plays with text, movement and sounds, but also with objects.
