Tim Etchells presents a performance in which he lends an insight into his creative process. Alone on stage, he remixes fragments of text coming from his own notebooks – ideas, word games, copy-paste clips from news reports and websites, twisted thoughts, overheard conversations, quotes, stories, etc. A generous session of improvisation!

JDX – A Public Enemy goes back to Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People. Tg STAN created this production in 1993. A razor-sharp comedy of politics, corruption, the abuse of power and the role of the media that is still very relevant today.

Where do we stand and how did we get here? And where do we go from here? These are important questions! Does the superb company de KOE perhaps have an answer? Come and see the Grand Finale of their majestic yet also light-hearted history of the West, a cheerful meandering stream of personal memories, political anecdotes, historical events and unexpected philosophical insights.

WoWmen! - The Catalan dancer and choreographer Pere Faura is fascinated by the mechanisms of sexual arousal. A hula hoop and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons play a central role in Bomberos con grandes mangueras (Firemen with long hoses). Pornographic imagery becomes part of the choreographic practice.

In Ivana Müller’s work the title always contains the concept of the performance. In this production, ten performers present countless variations on what a ‘common body’ can mean. Can a group of people represent one idea?

In a marshy landscape inhabited by strange creatures stands a building on stilts, the Swamp Club, an arts centre run by three residents. When the centre is threatened, the community takes measures to defend itself... This new performance by Philippe Quesne is a fantastic, musical urban fable.

In the summer of 2012, Maatschappij Discordia, De Koe, tg STAN and Dood Paard unleashed their eighth ‘poly-coproduction’ on mankind: Beroemden. They had spent no fewer than five years working on the production, incorporating the most noteworthy sentences from Hans Fels’ documentary Leven in Afrika (Living in Africa - VPRO, 2003).

Following radical adaptations that include La Divina Commedia and The Old Testament, FC Bergman now turns to another literary classic, the epic animal poem Van den vos Reynaerde (Reynard the Fox). Liesa Van der Aa and Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop put this journey/quest to music. Josse De Pauw provides the words. Dirk Roofthooft, Viviane De Muynck and Gregory Frateur also participate.

In 2003 Rachel Corrie travelled to Gaza to work as a volunteer giving aid to Palestinian civilians in the conflict with Israel. She died in Rafah when she threw herself, as a human shield, in the path of an approaching Israeli army bulldozer. My name is Rachel Corrie caused a great deal of commotion in England (premiere 2005) and America because of its political overtones and outspoken stance. Now Laura Van Dolron too is taking the bit between her teeth.  Cancelled for reasons of health.

The performances and installations by Gisèle Vienne shift the boundaries between appearance and reality and so open ‘another’ world. In The Pyre it consists of a dancer and a boy, in a metropolis at night. Abstract dance, tableau vivant and theatrical narration to a fascinating soundscape.

Olympique Dramatique and tg STAN are giving shape to shared theatre dreams. The companies are tackling The Vast Domain, a 1911 tragic-comedy by the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler about the consequences of adultery in Vienna at the start of the 20th century. Relevance and acting enjoyment are guaranteed!
