For his second opera production, Jan Decorte, the uncrowned king of Flemish theatre turns once again to the English baroque composer, Henry Purcell. The Indian Queen (1695) is a ‘semi-opera’. Decorte’s quest for basic simplicity is perfectly in keeping with the strength and freshness of this ‘not-yet-opera’.

There is no sign of God, but here and there we see dolls. Each of us is a character in someone else’s subjective reality. This is the thread running through We.art. dog.com. The performance is about nature and culture, death and life. Anyone who has ever seen Dimchev at work will know these are not just empty words.

In Children of the Sun, Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) portrays several intellectuals who have withdrawn from society and dedicated themselves to science, art and love, but realise too late that their ideas do not square with reality. Ivo Van Hove directs the piece as a reflection on the position of the intelligentsia in society today.
