Meet the artists after the show on 22.11

21/11 ‑14:00 : School per­for­mance in col­lab­o­ra­tion with BRONKS

This time, Alexander Vantournhout and his sidekick Emmi Väisänen draw on our everyday gestures to create their performance.

By deconstructing and reinventing our everyday movements - a handshake, a stroll as a couple, the way we cling to handrails on public transport - in three tableaux, they create a sensible analysis that grows in complexity to form a hypnotic dance each time. The connection between bodies is a constant feature in this uncompromising investigation, forcing the two dancers to work in complete complicity. The upshot is a frenzied virtuosity from which a tantalising sensuality emanates.


That same evening, you can enjoy free access to the video installation BALEINES by Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté. Sessions at 19:00, 19:40 and 22:00. Booking recommended.
