PONI

Pnlt + eay = Penalty (try-out)

dance performance

Pnlt + eay = Penalty (try-out)
Pnlt + eay = Penalty (try-out)
Thu 12.06.08

PONI starts out from very concrete elements: a penalty kick in football, the shooter, the ball, the goalie and the net. They are also inspired by each other and the world around them as well as by science fiction, ritual and science.  They attack dance under the enigmatic title Pnlt + eay = Penalty. The production is set up on a budget of 0.0 euro. You will be watching a try-out.

In June a new generation of dancers and choreographers will be graduating from P.A.R.T.S., the international dance school headed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. This group of seventh-generation students comprises 20 dancers and choreographers from 13 countries. At the Kaaitheater, P.A.R.T.S. will also present a student version of Rain, one of the key works in Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s oeuvre, and 12/8 by Thomas Hauert.

Hiphop is alive and Zulu Nation is its prophet. For six years now this Belgian organisation has presented the Battle of the Year contest at, and in association with, the Kaaitheater. For the last two years Zulu Nation has also been responsible for the highly popular hiphop dance acts at our Long Night of Dance events.

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 08 - Over the last ten years Thomas Hauert has, both at home and abroad, shown himself to be a choreographer with a voice of his own. His latest piece, Accords, is an abstract choreographic composition that one experiences like a piece of music. The dancers physically transpose, amplify or distort the dynamics, harmony, melody and counterpoint in their bodies.

PRODUCTION CANCELLED! The new production by the American choreographer Jennifer Lacey and the French artist Nadia Lauro has modest beginnings: a simple curiosity about the shared space between the soloist and the group. Charles Fourier, Anne Lee, the Marquis de Sade, Roland Barthes and others are astonished to find themselves sitting together around the same campfire.

Both Sitting Duet / The Quiet Dance / Speaking Dance
Sat 19.04.08

Two ‘little men’ on stage. They carry out movements, make sounds, speak and sing. Everything is done in a virtuoso rhythm, with exact timing, sometimes in unison, sometimes in two voices. Actually they are involved in a lively conversation with each other which is carried out in sounds and gestures. A choreographic, musical and poetic gem. Irresistibly comical!

Thu 03.04 - Sat 05.04.08

A tale of manners mutated into a science-fiction story. The two characters are initially difficult to comprehend. Are they campers, tramps, friends or lovers, humans or animals? Meg Stuart and Benoît Lachambre are speleologists who investigate the underground landscapes of the body. FORGERIES... was selected for the 2005 Theatre Festival. It is time for a repeat performance!

In Zeitung, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and pianist Alain Franco, together with the Rosas dancers, go in search of the unstable combination of music and dance, choreography and improvisation, romance and disillusion and of the essential building blocks of choreography. Alain Franco provides live piano accompaniment for the nine dancers.  The music is by Bach, Webern and Schönberg.

Four ‘identical’ female dancers hang like marionettes in a huge ‘machine’. Together with them performance artist Kris Verdonck generated a passage of choreography: a solo, a duet, a trio and a pas de quatre. They sought the greatest possible freedom from the machine, but sooner or later it sent them in the direction it decided upon.

As five-year-olds they had already appeared together at a folk dance festival in their native Slovakia, went on to train as dancers and came across each other again while working with Rosas, Ultima Vez, Akram Khan and other excellent companies. This shared background forms the basis for their first piece of collective work. Les SlovaKs present energetic dance in a new version of the traditional, with a generous dash of poetry.

Until she was twenty and while studying classical dance, Eszter Salamon performed traditional Hungarian dance, part of the family heritage. In Magyar Tàncok she links back to this tradition. She has invited her mother plus several dancers and musicians and goes in search of the roots of her work, more specifically the improvisation techniques she learnt as a child.

Thu 14.02.08

Directory 3: Tattoo is a brilliant study of the link between movement (choreo-) and writing (-graphy). The movement material arose out of a translation by each dancer of memories written down by the other. This yielded a captivating miniature portrait of the diversity of the world, drawn by five dancers and a musician. An exceptional performance!

The much praised debut production by the ZOO dance company. The dancers want to give you the feeling that you are in a moving train observing the landscape as if it were in motion. The result is an exceptionally fresh, energetic and occasionally funny performance in which geometric precision and improvisational exuberance go hand-in-hand.

Susanne Linke, one of the pioneers of German dance theatre, presents a reconstruction of Schritte verfolgen, a choreography from 1985. She considers it to be her artistic credo. In this solo she returns to experiences from her childhood and gives it an extra import: the process of aging, reaching maturity, and the joyful confirmation of the desire to ‘be’ at every stage of life.

Fascinated by this almost ‘virtual’ natural element, the choreographer Karine Ponties, composer Dominique Pauwels and artist Lawrence Malstaf are creating a performance about invisible forces and their visible traces, and on the impact of elusive energy and endless movement.

Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as seen by choreographer Thierry Smits and his Compagnie Thor. Four dancers move through four worlds, but there are also objects, matter undergoing transformation, a soundscape, a lightscape and a landscape. Thierry Smits’ work combines mysticism with eroticism, the sacred with the physical.

The Porcelain Project, Grace Ellen Barkey’s new creation, is based on a fascination with the fragility and transparency of porcelain and shows us a world in which dancers and porcelain move together. The setting for the performance is composed of hundreds of porcelain objects created by Lot Lemm. Grace Ellen Barkey brings them to life, together with the dancers, in an erotic world.

A classic of the new dance. There are about twenty performers on stage in this open and humorous production: a wide variety of bodies, ages, colours, movement idioms and so on. Their main ‘opposite number’ is the DJ who sits right at the front and plays a series of pop songs, hits and evergreens past and present one after the other on his CD player.

A man tries with the help of his clothes to transform his body so that the audience ultimately no longer knows what sort of creature they are watching. This very funny performance confuses the audience: where does the body begin and end? What is front and back or above and below in a particular space? Do we really see what we see? What is male and what is female? What is the actual nature of the body?

Extra Dry is the third part of the trilogy Fra Cervello e Movimento (Between brain and movement) by the Italian-Dutch tandem Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten. A brilliant performance that balances on the boundary between pure dance and dance theatre. De Morgen: ‘Every detail adds a grain of gold to the whole.’
