performance

In the last aria of Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde, Isolde passes into another dimension 'dying from love'. Liddell associates this love to death with bullfighting as the ultimate form of surrender.

In December Marché Bildy Markt transforms itself into one big welcoming dinner table. Each dish served has a story starting from different corners in the world and coming together in a vibrant community performance.

What is your history as a theatre maker? Miet Warlop is the fourth director in the series Histoire(s) du Théâtre to take up the challenge of creating a work in which present, past and future meet each other in a surprising way. A group of performers enters the universe of Warlop for an enchanting ritual about farewell, life and death, hope and rebirth.

Three performers spin 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.

Arkadi Zaides and his team are building an archive of dead people who were only admitted to Europe as bodies. The performance is an invitation to participate in the sensory discovery of a ghostly virtual territory, to question your sense of accountability and your role as a citizen. 

Welcome to a degenerated utopia, a ticket to time travel: AN(A)KARA  is a sci-fi TV variety show hosted by Gucci Chunk focusing on the late modernism of Turkey in relation to the city of Ankara. The performance investigates the collapse and decay of an imaginary society with references to real-life absurdities.  

With her ritual A Farewell to Melancholy Desires, drag queen Olympia Bukkakis wants to help you break your melancholic attachments to the Kaaitheater building as it was and is and let go of all your unfulfilled wishes. At the same time, as a participant, you are invited to transform your melancholic desires and focus on the possibilities of the new building.
