Maria (Australia/Leuven) and Purni (UK/Antwerp) explore what is and is not allowed on stage. Can a woman say what she really thinks? Or only what the public likes to hear?

Eli Mathieu-Bustos is a dancer-performer whose physical virtuosity allows him to transcend the various political identities that define him.
Yet it is from them that his dances are born.
Self-taught and passionate about improvisation, he is inspired by both dancehall and German expressionist dance.
In 2020, he created an improvisational technique – based on his practice of astrology – which he perfected in the studio.
From this technique was born a new dance style called De Caelo.
