CASCADE

dance
performance
25—26.10.2023

In CASCADE, Meg Stuart and seven dancers reset the clock, challenging reality to take on new forms. Balancing on the edge of a world that is rapidly disappearing, they plunge into another dimension. They go in search of a secret passage, a future playground and refuge. They find their driving force in disruption. Running, falling and getting up again capsizes their bodies as their principles transform and take on new interpretations. CASCADE is an unconditional surrender to what we do not know about the other person. Following an international tour, the show returns to Brussels for what may be your last chance to see it here.

• American choreographer Meg Stuart lives and works in Brussels and Berlin. Her company Damaged Goods has a long-term collaboration with Kaaitheater, where she showed most of her work. For CASCADE, she joins hands with the French scenographer and theatre maker Philippe Quesne – who over the past decade has presented his own shows at Kaaitheater with his Vivarium Studio. Composer and musician Brendan Dougherty created the live music. 

“A brilliant piece about time, uncertainty, openness and solidarity. A perfect interplay of moving bodies with Brendan Dougherty's music and Philippe Quesne's stage and lighting design.”Tanzschrift 

CASCADE leaves you with only two choices: drift along with this trip or say no. Coming along – no matter how wild the rollercoaster – turns out to be a choice that rewards you richly.”Pzazz
