Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's second and arguably most performed performance takes you to a new dimension. Minute variations allow initially perfectly synchronised movements gradually to slip and shift, creating a complex interplay of changing shapes and patterns.

Josse De Pauw's lyrics come straight from the mouth of Junior, a Nigerian former soccer player who sees theatre as a chance to stop working in a factory. A spectrum of Dutch fluency, an exciting dynamic between author and actor.

Tue 10.10 - Sun 22.10.23

In Fluisterbehang/Visite Guidée, Tristero uncovers the hidden stories stored in the walls of the Schaarbeek residence at number 80 Rue Gallait. But this show is just as much about all the other homes around the world. Because what is a house? When does the house become a home and is every home also a home?

Wed 11.10 - Sat 14.10.23

An ongoing conversation between daughter and father about human knowledge and uncharted territories. The horizon, as a metaphor for what is unknown or misunderstood, appears not only in the distance but also within us; scattered throughout our bodies, lives and histories. This horizon is infinite, life is not.

There is a place that human knowledge can never reach. The horizon marks that boundary. But there lies an end point also in our body, psyche, biography and history. Things we know we will never know looks at the Horizon as an expanding, changing frontier and explores the connection between 'the unknown out there' and 'the unknown in here'. It will be an evening for talking about the things we know we will never know.

Traveling sources begins with Ariella Aïsha Azoulay's latest film essay. In her film, Azoulay departs from stolen art to question the imperialist basis of today's world interacting with the ruins of worlds we are being told (could) no longer exist.

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. CASCADE is an unconditional surrender to what we do not know about the other. A return to Brussels after the international tour!

Along with a group of young queer actors, Louis Janssens creates Desire, in which the unfulfilled desires, thoughts and doubts so typical of the moment between night and day in the 'blue hour' are given free rein. With a text full of personal stories, reflections around friendship and the history of gay bars. Playful, intimate and very relatable.
