In a choreography that transmits itself only by means of Stine Sampers’ photos, Vera Tussing and Esse Vanderbruggen re-situate their work in the urban landscape of Brussels, and then upload it to Instagram. On Dance Day, they invite you to Kaaitheater for a discussion on the meeting of their practices, and a physical sharing of the digital material.

Pour cette adaptation du film Coup de Torchon (1981) de Bertrand Tavernier, Guy Cassiers s’allie au collectif de théâtre LAZARUS – attendez-vous alors à une confrontation entre précision scénographique et ludisme brutal. Les créateurs du spectacle nous présentent une fable inconfortable sur la faillite morale d’une société qui ressemble étrangement fort à la nôtre. Un univers de personnages grotesques au bord du précipice.

Five dancers – including Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker herself – adapt, question and dance Bach’s six Cello Suites, performed by the world-renowned cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. Their ingenious architecture, rhythmic vitality and timeless beauty continue to fascinate people today.

Six actors on the stage and only one solo. There are no leading or secondary roles, but six simultaneous interpretations of the same script.

The Script focuses on acting, ánd on the existential loneliness that you sometimes feel in a group.

Léa Drouet finds a spot in Kanal that she transforms into an area for play and experimentation for her six performers. Like a social laboratory, the piece tests the process involved in composing and disbanding groups. Infinite (re)arrangements of bodies and stage elements define new social rules like alternatives to the sole principles of inclusion and exclusion.

In this tribute to Ian White (1971-2013), Jimmy Robert investigates the worlds of disco and death. Expect a critical meditation on the legacy of the 1980s with a specific focus on AIDS, activism, gender and race.
