In this concert Ictus transforms itself into a veritable rock band, with voice, clarinet/sax, electric guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Special guest is the Berlin trio The New Silence. A select group of composers, musicians and performers, with whom Ictus has worked in the past, wrote and selected works with the length of a pop song. Rock meets new music!

The Nature Theater of Oklahoma is returning to the Kaaitheater with the second episode of their brilliant saga Life and Times. While Episode 1 began with birth and continued to age 8, Episode 2 takes the tale on to the age of 14, a time of full longing, losers, and smoking in the woods. The Rosas dancer Fumiyo Ikeda is also taking part in this new episode!

Tine Van Aerschot is creating a new, intense theatre performance. We are not afraid of the dark is an exercise in survival, sometimes joyful, sometimes dark, a somewhat unusual guide to dealing with fear and an attempt to understand our transient lives.

In 2009 Fabián Barba created A Mary Wigman Dance Evening. In this
much-lauded first solo he reconstructed nine short dances by Mary
Wigman, one of the figureheads of German expressionist dance. In A personal yet collective history Barba expands on the initial
ideas set out in that performance. He brings us a collection of dances
that ‘are created by other people in another time or at another place’. Barba’s aim is to check how he has absorbed dance history and in what way it is visible in his movements.

In This is how you will disappear, the French theatre-maker
Gisèle Vienne appears to be bringing the work of David Lynch, Alain
Robbe-Grillet or Lewis Carroll to the stage. She is working on the
boundary between dream and reality, and between appearance and reality.
Nothing is what it seems, and everything is bursting with symbolism.
