Three performers and a DJ play a series of novel characters. From a young woman who is looking for her beloved who left to be a resistance fighter, to a weeping Iraqi taxi driver who collects stories about illnesses. Just like theatre, interviews often toy with the border between appearance and authenticity, and it is precisely this border that Enkidu Khaled explores in his Scheherazade-esque story marathon.

For this adaptation of Moby Dick, Gorges Ocloo called on Ben Okri, who adapted the novel into a magic-realist story about the gulf between high and low, rich and poor. Josse De Pauw and the mezzo-soprano Nobulumko Mngxekeza-Nziramasanga take to the stage. Together, they perform an energized and jazzy opera about the need for rapprochement in an increasingly polarized society.

[This performance has been cancelled.] In July 1990, the American ambassador April Glaspie met Saddam Hussein in Iraq. A few days later, Iraq invaded Kuwait. What did Glaspie and Hussein say to one another precisely? Willem de Wolf wrote April based on the knowledge of everything that has happened since. Guy Cassiers has used footage from thirty years ago to make a reconstruction of the media’s sources at the time.

Every week, a fabulously wealthy woman descends the marble steps of her penthouse, straight into the bubbling underbelly of the city. There she observes, fillets and memorises everything she sees. For the first time, Natali Broods plays solo at de KOE, in a documentary about a play that is about making a documentary. With a camera as an additional character and Brussels as an extra, the company stands with one leg on your doorstep and the other on stage.

Sat 20.02.21

In October, Métisse was performed on the big stage of Kaaitheater – now you can relive the performance on Podium 19. It is a tragi-comic, musical production about the existential question of ‘half-blood children’ since the 1960s, who as illegitimate citizens were faced with social exclusion – both in Europe and in Sub-Saharan Africa. The perspectives of three generations of women, each with darker skin than the last, coalesce and reveal a piece of the hidden past and present.

Rabot 4-358 is a documentary performance about the social residential towers of Ghent’s Rabot district and the workshop that existed there for 26 months. This workshop started as a personal initiative of Simon Allemeersch and Wannes Degelin. The performance tells their workshop's story. How come these buildings once had a very good reputation? Who came up with their absurd form? And why are the towers actually being demolished? A story from the inside about housing, economy, poverty and personal fictions.

‘How are you now?’ It is with this question that Rabot 2 begins. In 2010, Simon Allemeersch installed his workshop in one of the dilapidated social housing blocks in the Rabot neighbourhood in Ghent. Now he has made Rabot 2, in which he looks up the people he collaborated with at the time. Starting from individual testimonials, he zooms out to a bigger story about private and public wealth.

In 1981, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel performed their legendary charity concert in Central Park, New York: a musical feast of friendship and solidarity. the two singers now avoid one another as much as possible. More even: they had already split at the time of that concert. Simon, Garfunkel, My Sister and Me is the ultimate re-enactment of the concert, a show about rivalry in all its forms.

No more gender inequality according to de KOE and mugmetdegoudentand. The companies were inspired by Goethe's novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften, set up as an amorous experiment in the style of Temptation Island. Do the characters fall prey to their passions and drives, the so-called laws of nature? Or does reason prevail? Even then, the ending was catastrophic.

ACT approaches Beckett in three ways: with a monologue with Beckett texts (Stories and texts for nothing), performed by Johan Leysen, with a scientist, invited to react to Beckett and with an autonomous scenography, a possible landscape for a Beckett text.

Dries Gijsels and his crew create a restless and intriguing universe of soothsayers and ex-lovers, of delays and deadlines, of too much coffee and too little sleep. In a race against the clock, they try to find a new time zone where our attention is not fragmented and time can have a rest.
