Ghost Writer and the Broken Hand Break

dance
performance
25.11.2022

A handbrake that fails is a classic ingredient for nightmares: losing control, not being able to stop, heading for a crash. On the other hand, it can also mean a sense of being free and of speeding forward without inhibitions. But is movement always a forward movement? Those who move in circles end at the beginning and begin at the end. In Ghost Writer and the Broken Hand Break, three performers turn around their axis for three quarters of an hour - a movement that in Sufi ceremonies is supposed to lead to a state of religious euphoria. In Miet Warlop's version, it becomes an experiment on the fine line between having and losing control. It is a mixture of whirling dance, recitation and concert. How can you find a balance between self-control and devotion?

• Miet Warlop studied three-dimensional art at the KASK in Ghent. In her work, she strings together images to create stunning tableaux vivants. She has given several performances at Kaaistudio's (including Springville and Big Heap/Mountain). With Ghost Writer and the Broken Hand Break she performed on the Kaaitheater main stage in 2019 and now the performance is back on the Kaaiprogramme. 

 

'Sometimes you see a performance that reminds you of what you so often miss. Ghost Writer and The Broken Hand Break by artist Miet Warlop is one of those - something happens, something is created that makes your heart beat faster because in that very moment you are a spectator and participant in a birth.' – De Theaterkrant 

'A dazzling, chillingly controlled performance.' - de Volkskrant
