Metronorm is a choreographic and visual immersion in the heart of the urban space. Through the lens of the subway, two dancers embody the forced coexistence of shared rout(in)es and paths that collide with one another. Blending cinematic aesthetics with industrial rhythms, the piece explores the social ties that influence our daily commutes. How do […]
What does it mean to love God when His word has been twisted to justify violence against your body and identity? This question is the starting point in Izo’s autobiographical work Thank God I’m not straight . Through dance, speaking plainly, and participatory performance, he reconciles his “incompatible identities” as a queer person and a […]
“While immigration is often seen as a geographical movement, we want to approach it in a broader sense. Every stage of life is a form of migration: being born, growing up, loving, parting ways, rebuilding oneself. We are constantly crossing visible and invisible boundaries that transform our identity and leave their mark on us. Immigration […]
Bodies of Conflict and Avoidance (working title) We move past one another— bodies in transit pass each other in a shared space—each carrying invisible baggage. “We avoid, we protect ourselves, we retreat into the self,” but what if our inner conflicts were visible? In *Bodies of Conflict and Avoidance*, Misha Demoustier makes the invisible tangible. […]
Birds Cries is a dance performance that begins with the desire to collaborate—with other bodies and other rhythms. Using familiar concepts of rhythmic systems, Amina explores how rhythmic patterns guide and control the body, evoke memories, and shape behavior. Together with other dancers on stage, she creates a new soundscape that reinterprets old sounds, unravels […]
il était un foie. In her one-woman show, Sanae Jamaï takes you on an intimate journey through her inner world, where illness is not an enemy, but a life partner. Through word and dance, she gives voice to silence, loneliness and the strength that lies in vulnerability. With humor and honesty, she breaks taboos around […]
One Look is a multidisciplinary performance where dance (hip-hop, krump, tricking ánd flamenco influences), voice and classical piano enter into dialogue. The gaze is central: as the interface between people, as a window into each other’s worlds, as a mirror of what we sometimes prefer to hide … In a playful exchange of each other’s […]
Welcome to Ksaarland: The Kingdom of Party is an energetic performance that celebrates party as a way of life. Ksaar, originating in Darija, was reinvented by Brussels youth as a way to name – AND claim – pleasure and relaxation. Israël uses the concept as an engine for a shared experience: one that centers on […]
Agni Kai is a glowing choreography about inner struggle and liberation. Inspired by the fire duel from the world of Avatar, Zoë brings an intense dialogue between mastery and surrender. In a charged play of strength and vulnerability, the dancers search for who they should be and, more importantly, who they want to become. The […]
VOI(X)E is a raw and intuïtive dance performance in which movement and sound dialogue with each other – breathing becomes groove, groove becomes voice and voice becomes rhythm. Four dancers – Aminata Soumaré, Abir Gharbi, Maïté Huizenga & Ines Mendoza – explore the fields of tension between chaos and calm, voice and body, rhythm and […]
In Mencey Loco, Aday delves into the forgotten histories of his island, Tenerife. Inspired by La Cantata del Mencey Loco, the once-censored album by Los Sabandeños, he dances the story of the last revolt of the Guanches – the original inhabitants of the Canary Islands – against Spanish colonial rule. But the struggle is not […]
In their first collaborative work Where figs don’t grow, Zilan, Bora and Eden bring the story of three women who each come from a different place and meet at the same time. Their otherness connects them, but their unique backgrounds also set them apart. The performance unfolds the layering of the afterglow of saying goodbye […]
