Fri 31.01 - Sat 01.02.20

While many creators praise the empty stage as the central place for fantasy, in Physics and Phantasma it becomes compulsive and traumatic. The vacuum must at all costs by filled with something! To this end, Iggy Lond Malmborg takes you on a journey to random and dark corners of your imagination: the place where this solo takes shape.

Thu 05.03 - Fri 06.03.20

In this humorous and passionate monologue performed by Einat Tuchman, Orla Barry explores the boundaries of art, gender, and the rural everyday. She describes the experiences of an artist who returns from the city to her rural roots and is reborn as a hybrid ‘farmer-artist’. Coincidence, humour and a subtle language game are the ingredients of a production that blends oral historiography with personal memories.

performance

Wed 22.04.20

In this performance about information fast food, vanity, fiction and the urge for affirmation, the artistic duo Sarah & Charles goes in search of the ultimate form of submission. In an age in which social media and the internet are expanding our view of the world, our minds appear to be narrowing emotionally. The performers invite you to a creative wellness centre where you can put your decision-making on hold.

Thu 05.12 - Fri 06.12.19

During a meditative crying marathon that lasts almost an hour, two futuristic female characters question the mechanisms that turn personal emotions into political phenomena. In a choreography that uses video and large sheets of paper – simultaneously protest signs and drying laundry – their tears of weakness become an act of political power.

In the late 1920s, Nâzım Hikmet introduced free verse to Turkish poetry, and he was thus the first modern Turkish poet. He wrote the majority of Human Landscapes, his magnum opus, while in prison. The five hundred-page epic was only published posthumously, divided into five ‘books’. Michiel Vandevelde staged Book I last year, commissioned by steierische herbst. Book II now follows.

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.

Fri 08.06 - Sat 09.06.12

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?

Fri 08.06 - Fri 08.06.12

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.

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.

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 10.02 - Sat 11.02.12

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. Counting to One Hundred completes their second trilogy and plays breathtakingly with rhythm and counterpoint.
