For the first time, Bel­gian cho­reo­graph­er Jan Martens presents a wide-scale piece ima­gined for the main stage with an atyp­ic­al corps de bal­let com­posed of 17 unique per­son­al­it­ies with a strong com­mit­ment against oppres­sion and assignations. Any attempt will end in crushed …

In the piece Mourn Baby Mourn, Kater­ina Andreou’s primary mater­i­al is sad­ness and nos­tal­gia. The piece is a solo devised as a dis­tress sig­nal, a vir­u­lent attempt at escap­ing melancholy.

Red Hori­zon con­sists of 15 double pen­du­lums com­posed of a white light and a small loud­speak­er that move accord­ing to the unpre­dict­ab­il­ity of the mech­an­ism. The ensemble forms a field of visu­al and sound particles, hyp­not­ic and cap­tiv­at­ing, play­ing on the vari­ations of …

Two soli for an even­ing of cho­reo­graph­ic con­ver­sa­tion, between dif­fer­ent styles and eras for g r oo v e, which bor­rows, samples and revis­its, and between move­ments and rhythms for Odd Meters, which fol­lows the sinu­ous tempo of dreams. Odd Meters — …
