Thu 07.01 - Sat 22.05.10

Decorte had earlier adapted Euripides to make «Betonliebe + Fleischkrieg» Medeia and now he is working on The Bacchae. What interests Decorte is the element of extreme horror in the story and the contrast between the reason of Pentheus, king of Thebes, and the passion in the character of Dionysus, god of ecstasy, wine and theatre.

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 010 - After a number of small-scale side projects, Tim Etchells has rejoined his collective for an impressive new project with several new performers. Inspired by several recent collaborations, Forced Entertainment will focus on elements which it had ignored in recent years, such as movement, dance and the electronic manipulation of sound and voice.  Not to be missed!

Wed 28.04 - Fri 30.04.10

Wittgenstein Incorporated is a re-construction of three lectures the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein gave in Cambridge before the Second World War for a select audience of colleagues and close friends. Wittgenstein paced up and down the room while philosophising out loud and in impromptu fashion – while allowing others to witness it. Rerun of the legendary Kaaitheater production made 20 years ago.

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.

Alexandra Bachzetsis has been exploring the realms of mainstream
popular culture such as hip-hop, fashion, striptease and film. In Dream Season she examines the conventions of soap opera. Dream Season is amusingly critical, contemporary and feminine. It is an erotic anthropological view of our society.

Following the success of Roman Tragedies and Angels in America, Kaaitheater is once again presenting a theatre marathon by Toneelgroep Amsterdam. The director Ivo van Hove mobi-lises the whole ensemble to tackle a light-hearted comedy of manners by the 18th-century Ital-ian playwright Carlo Goldoni. Summer Trilogy focuses on the materialist excesses and amo-rous intrigues of an upper middle-class family.

Six hard-rockers have broken down in their old Citroën and are stranded in a snow-covered landscape. The French artist and stage designer Philippe Quesne shows a slice of life, detailed and humorous. His sources of inspiration are Beckett, Maeterlinck, Goya, Dürer, and hard rock and mediaeval music too. A masterpiece!

More than a hundred years ago, Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain, a monument of world literature. At the start of the 21st century, six actors ask themselves how they should approach this book / a book. An unusually interesting – and very amusing – performance about the problematic way in which 21st century man deals with his cultural heritage, as well as being a performance about acting and the acting pleasure experienced by six 21st century actors.

For our younger readers, in the early eighties Maatschappij Discordia was the figurehead of a new sort of theatre that tackled the classic repertoire in a fresh and uninhibited way. It laid the ground for tg STAN, Dood Paard and many other small and independent collectives that followed them. In recent years Discordia has faded slightly into the background (and out of the subsidy lists), but now they are back with new work! So make sure you come and see it!

Abattoir Fermé’s tenth anniversary is being celebrated at the Kaaitheater with a remix of the notorious Chaos Trilogy (Indie, Tinseltown, Lalaland). The piece is set against the backdrop of Lalaland, a metropolis where the apocalypse has already started. The nerve centre of this city is Wilfried Pateet-Borremans – stage director, monstre sacré, brilliant lunatic.

Wed 09.12 - Thu 10.12.09

To round off an extremely successful tour, Jan Fabre’s latest stage production will be on for two nights in Brussels. Orgy of Tolerance shows the decline of the human species. Fabre grotesquely paints a portrait of the human consumer in our late-capitalist society, where everything is tolerated and everything is for sale. Jan Fabre meets Monty Python: hilariously absurd sketches expose the mechanisms of our collective delusion and undermine them with plenty of humour.

Nachtevening is the second part of Inne Goris’ diptych centred on the stage classic Medea. A pared-down, sensory performance where the words by Inne Goris and Pieter De Buysser and the music by Eavesdropper are well matched. Two people enter the arena, driven on by a live eight-member chorus that now and then forces them to stop and reflect in this emotion-filled arena.

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.

Author Rudi Meulemans maps out three storylines and fills them in with facts and scientific ‘evidence’: he intertwines the unsolved murder or suicide of Hapsburg Crown Prince Rudolf and the life of Charles Darwin with the life of three narrators: a journalist, a taxonomist and an art historian. Issues from the world and science translated to theatre and fiction.

Thu 22.10 - Sat 24.10.09

In her new choreography Do Animals Cry, Meg Stuart and her dancers explore the cultural militia called family. On stage, we see a number of characters in slippers and pyjamas: a family – is it a family? – that calmly becomes disagreeable. They muddle about in various poses: father, mother or child. No one needs a fixed role: without being asked, each of them glides in and out of family portraits.
'The humour of Do Animals Cry is so refined it would soothe anyone's pain. It is Stuart's most intimate and emotional piece so far. ... A razor-sharp comedy.' (Ballet-Tanz, October 2009)

You can follow what happens on stage the entire night and day, but also eat, drink or rest.
