La Raffinerie / Charleroi Danse
Thu 15.06 - Fri 16.06.23

Deux chorégraphes travaillent avec les mêmes groupes d'étudiant·es en danse. Un programme contrasté qui se rencontre autour de l'énergie, de la virtuosité et de la relation profonde entre la danse et la musique.

Fri 29.09 - Sat 30.09.23

O Samba do Crioulo Doido is a stinging, frontal critique of the racial stereotypes associated with black bodies that haunt our collective subconscious. The piece was created by Luis de Abreu in 2004 and, almost two decades later, has passed on to Calixto Neto. It is a mischievous appropriation of a body often considered subordinate, an invitation to reclaim itself and its own history.

Wed 25.10 - Thu 26.10.23

In CASCADE, Meg Stuart and seven dancers reset the clock, challenging reality to take on new forms. Balancing on the edge of a world that is rapidly disappearing, they plunge into another dimension. CASCADE is an unconditional surrender to what we do not know about the other. A return to Brussels after the international tour!

Thu 23.11 - Sun 26.11.23

Together with a group of skaters and dancers, Mette Ingvartsen explores the speed and energy of movement on wheels, a physical memory from her own childhood. Much more than simply a flawless spectacle of virtuoso performances, Skatepark marks the emergence of a community defined by perseverance and hard work.

In a queer game with plants, hairbrushes, consent and joy, the identities and desires of a few human characters are thoroughly shuffled and transformed.

La Raffinerie / Charleroi Danse
Thu 09.02 - Fri 10.02.23

In Nebula, Vania Vaneau approaches the relationship between human bodies and nature as a meeting of force fields in a post-apocalyptic context. Nebula is a crossing into the unknown and a moment of eclipse that offers a glimpse at other possible worlds.

Wed 14.12 - Thu 15.12.22

A bent back, speaking but there is no mouth. Arms doing their own thing. In his solo debut, Milø Slayers explores the boundary between man and monster. Hip-hop and abstract contemporary dance melt together under a play of light that constantly distorts the familiar human relationships.

Ghost Writer and the Broken Hand Break

Fri 25.11.22

Three performers spin around their axis for three quarters of an hour – a movement that in Sufi ceremonies is supposed to lead to a state of religious euphoria. In Miet Warlop's version, it becomes an experiment on the fine line between having and losing control.

Fri 28.10 - Sat 29.10.22

Arkadi Zaides and his team are building an archive of dead people who were only admitted to Europe as bodies. The performance is an invitation to participate in the sensory discovery of a ghostly virtual territory, to question your sense of accountability and your role as a citizen.

Sat 22.10 - Sun 23.10.22

MOLD isn’t just a performance, it’s also a farm: an environment where all elements interact as living cultures. Drawing on mycology, fashion, fermentation, dance and sculpture – Sara Manente approaches the theatre machine as a multiplicity of bodies.

Solos and duets

Thu 21.04 - Sat 23.04.22

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.

How does one make darkness tangible? Which other realities, encounters and connections become possible in the dark? gone here (yet) to come is an investigation into the materiality of darkness and how it relates to space. Digging deeper and deeper into the theatrical space and time exposes lost memories. Let these specters guide you into the dark and discover other dimensions of the world as we know it.

In Lands of Concert, artists Jija Sohn, Andrea Zavala Folache, Lucy Wilke, Julia Reist and Oneka Von Schrader mix performance with workshop. They blur the boundaries between artist and spectator, and opt for radical intimacy. Lands of Concert is based on the CARE principle, which focuses on recognising diversity and acceptance. Together, you will redefine your own position, that of the other, and that of the body as a form of limitation.

Fri 26.11 - Sun 28.11.21

Departing from the simple action of shirt pulling, common in football as a method of maintaining contact with an opponent, not letting an opponent get away and typically seen as an aggressive act, Ahilan Ratnamohan and a group of performers attempt to push this action to its limits, debunking its aggressive, competitive quality to arrive at something new. In doing so the jerseys begin to take on a new significance.

Wed 13.10 - Fri 15.10.21

In The Dancing Public, Mette Ingvartsen explores ecstatic movement at social gatherings in the aftermath of a pandemic. Her solo blows up the solitary confinement of 2020 with a mix of unstoppable movements, incessant music, words and chants in infernal tempos and rhythms. The Dancing Public is a dance party, a spoken word concert and an expression of physical madness to the point of exhaustion. What is this extreme need for movement that we feel in our bodies today? Are we ready to taste life to the full again?
