During the pandemic, food delivery services have seen far more demand as people, those having the possibility of quarantining, sought ways to have the outside world brought to their homes. Akira Takayama invited them to create rap performances.

For François Chaignaud, the starting point of his new creation is a recurring dream: imagining a community of singers and dancers who cross the boundaries between two disciplines. In this impressive choreography the bodies, like the letters of the title, are separate and united at the same time.

What if the sounds from your living environment start to disappear? David Weber-Krebs invites you to listen collectively to a world that increasingly is going silent. Accompanied by composer Pali Meursault, a group of young storytellers will lead you through a slow process that leads to silence. Until there are no more stories to tell.

Open Studios XL — During this Open Studios XL, choreographer and dancer Anneleen Keppens and writer Elke de Rijcke share their conversation with an audience for the first time. Body Dialogues Unfolded is a shared space in which hands weave movements and words together. This takes shape in images, memories and thought processes.

Open Studios XL — This workshop is an invitation to move together. The rules of the global tango are not respected and roles are playfully reversed. Anyone who would like to move is welcome. No experience with tango or dance is required.

You see writhing bodies in a desolate landscape, hands and a head moving to the rhythm of an explosive drum solo, and a playful duet in which two women take control of the spectator's gaze. Meg Stuart creates an evening in which four dancers perform existing solos and duets, combined with fragments from full-length performances. All to live music. An excellent opportunity to journey through Stuart's oeuvre, which continues to grow, live and transform.

Open Studios XL — I think we need to talk is an interactive performance with a lot of wool and few words by the Ghent Collective Elan(d) and Manoeuvre. You are invited to find a place in the pink wool universe that unrolls before your eyes. In this collective experience, you literally join in on a story about connection. During Open Studios XL, the makers will show where they stand in their research.

The performance How not to be understood?  approaches art as a spirit. A spirit that surrounds people, influences them and appears to them in unpredictable ways. Through video fragments, a piece of fabric and his own body, Marcos Simões takes you on a journey through a spiritual sequence of rituals. Get ready for this encounter with art as an unformed being: a process that connects the invisible to the visible, the finite to the infinite, the one to the many.
