Myriam Van Imschoot visited a zoo, went to a motorway to listen with a tuning fork, discovered birds that sounded like chainsaws and imitated ringtones. Five performers – with backgrounds ranging from the noise underground scene to pop – will imitate these sounds using only their voices. You won’t believe your ears.

The internet is a source of inspiration for Barbara Matijević & Giuseppe Chico. YouTube is the subject of their new performance. The performer transforms the stage into an intimate room where she records her videos.  As she interacts with a range of devices inspired by machines, gadgets and toys commonly used by DIY filmmakers, the performance establishes close parallels between amateur and artistic practices.

Welcome to the BAUER HOUR dance season! This season's second edition of Eleanor Bauer's variety show promises a walk & talk with dancer Cecilia Lisa Eliceche, and musical accompaniment by Carlos Alberto Paniz Garbin. BAUER HOUR remains quality time that lasts just one hour.

A Needcompany Double Bill: the new performance by MaisonDahlBonnema is a study of rhythm and expression, a journey in which a live drummer fires up three performers. Maarten Seghers smartly exposes art practice in an everlasting pop song, a sculptural dance, a stand-up comedy show, a performance.

Pharmakon - On the first day we open up the notion of ‘pharmakon’ through dialogues, discussions and bodywork. Bernard Stiegler addresses his notions of ‘savoir faire’ and ‘savoir vivre’ out of a contemporary understanding of how we ‘technologize’ our lives.

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 010 - The starting point of ZERO is the body as tabula rasa: a body with no memory, no past, no future, which performs each movement as if for the first time; a tool with neither purpose nor function. ZERO explores the relation between memory and the body, its bearings and reflexes, with remarkable physical intelligence.

With Marzipan or Plexi Marijs Boulogne has created a production that combines the narrative character of a fairy tale with a musical (text, music, dance) and the intractability of a performance. A fairy tale about ‘hunger’: desire, (female) ecstasy, symbiosis and sexuality.
