Next season the pianist and conductor Alain Franco, well-known from his work with Ictus, Rosas and La Monnaie, will be performing Bach’s Wohltemperiertes Klavier.

Dissipating I
Fri 16.06 - Sat 17.06.06

Milli Bitterli, who performed in Meg Stuart’s Appetite, examines the relationship between movement and emotion. Bitterli: ‘Does a choreography of the emotions exist? Behind every attitude my body adopts lies an emotion that powers me like an engine. Every movement is linked to a particular feeling, an experience, which in its turn influences the execution of the movement.’ Dissipating I is a joyful and ecstatic dance performance full of infectious dance pleasure.

Jours Blancs

Jours Blancs
Wed 14.06.06

The theme of Saskia Hölbling's work is the body. In Jours Blancs she tries to incorporate the body into a context – a country, a city, a house – that suppresses it. In this piece, the female body is neither character, image nor personality, but is both question mark and hyphen between lust, pain and rage.

Thu 08.06 - Sat 10.06.06

In the spring of 2006 the four actors at Tg Stan (Jolente De Keersmaeker, Sara De Roo, Damiaan De Schrijver and Frank Vercruyssen) plan to make a new performance together without the participation of any outsiders; they have not done this since 1997. Itis called of / niet and it is based on texts by Harold Pinter and Alan Ayckbourn. Expect to a play and a performance with strong acting and a highly individual interpretation.

Thu 08.06 - Sat 10.06.06

Heine Røsdal Avdal, a Norwegian choreographer who lives in Brussels, is fascinated by the impact of technology on human life. In Some notes are, he looks at how new forms of relationship arise as a result of new technologies – between dancer and spectator and between man and his environment. All the elements of the performance (theatre, audience, dancer, video, etc.) are used to this end, because they are all part of the same communication network.

Lugares comunes
Thu 25.05 - Sat 27.05.06

Lachambre sees the dancer as the perfect example of a sublime union of individual and environment. He puts nine dancers on stage. Together they question the dividing line of the traditional theatre space, looking for the twilight zone where the dancer and spectator encounter one another. Lugares comunes will be as frivolous as a musical and as futuristic and utopian as science fiction.

Rudi Meulemans  is embarking on a piece about the legendary jazz producer John Hammond, who worked with such greats as Billie Holiday and Count Basie. Swing sketches a portrait of New York during the Great Depression. In addition to Hammond, we hear from the writer Elizabeth Hardwick and the fictional character Geoffrey, all three enthused by jazz and the struggle for the emancipation of minorities.

Here, As If They Hadn't Been, As If They Are Not. an epilogue. The Invisible Dances.
Thu 18.05 - Sat 20.05.06

The dancer and choreographer Frank Bock and director and stage designer Simon Vicenzi examine such theatrical codes and concepts as movement, image and perception. To give an example, they work with blind people or blindfold their performers. What are the consequences for perception and what mechanisms develop to compensate? A strange theatre experience with lasting reverberations. Here, As If... is part of their cycle of invisible dances.

The art historian Ho Tzu-Nyen undermines established thinking and on his computer retouches the great classic works of Eastern and Western painting. His talk/performance offers an ironic look at the ‘make-up artists’ of identity and history.

Sat 06.05 - Wed 10.05.06

After Verosimile (2002), Thomas Hauert wanted to explore the relationship between singing and the body even further. In Walking Oscar, movements, images, sound tapes and live songs interact with one another. Each gives a different view of the script, which was written by the Dutch novelist Oscar van den Boogaard. Six dancers, and several musicians and composers collaborate in this production.

Fri 28.04 - Sat 29.04.06

In érection Pierre Rigal tells the absurd and tragic story of the evolution of man. Or how an individual is born out of the laws of biology and the rules of social convention. Starting from a recumbent position, Rigal laboriously but surely finds his way to an upright position. Video images of an ever-changing space are projected onto the floor and force the dancer to find his way within the limits of his surroundings.

In Uncontainable we see the work of five young choreographers, all of whom are finalists in an international competition. Each of them will create a short choreographic piece for six to eight dancers from the Royal Ballet of Flanders, in which the dance idiom may be either classical or contemporary The best choreography will win the Hapag-Lloyd Prize.

Fri 21.04 - Sat 22.04.06

The young Romanian choreographer Eduard Gabia – who has danced with Katrine Ponties and Thomas Plischke, among others – likes to explore the limits of physical experience. He has for example walked around blindfold for days; in BONUS he controls and manipulates what the audience does and does not get to see and hear. In My presence – proof of time he exposes the many forms in which we experience time.

In this programme Capilla Flamenca presents twelve typical works from the Ars Nova repertoire (fourteenth century), as well as several secular works by Guillaume de Machaut, the absolute master of the Ars Nova.

In October the American choreographer Jennifer Lacey appeared in mhmmmm, a piece she made with the artist Nadia Lauro. She will be back again in April, this time in the Kaaitheater Studios, with a reworking of her 1995 solo Skin Mitten. The original choreography on video will be projected on a screen and provided with subtitles. At the same time, Lacey will perform her choreography live on stage. The same dance in two different ways.  Double bill with Mette Ingvartsen (50/50) and Latifa Laâbissi (I love like animals).

Fri 31.03 - Sat 01.04.06

You will be familiar with the Brussels-Norwegian dancer Mette Edvardsen from her work with Christine de Smedt (Les Ballets C. De la B.) and Thomas Hauert (ZOO) among others. She has previously presented her own productions in the studios: Private Collection and Time Will Show (detail). Opening, her new solo piece, balances on the boundary between theatre and dance. She reacts to elements from her surroundings and looks for ways of dealing with them. This leads to a narrative that gives her dance structure.
