‘Rhythm is a soul’s companion’ (Snap!)

Rhythm connects us inextricably to the world. It is everywhere – in our steps, in our language, in our emotions, in life itself. Since ancient times, when it served as a mnemonic aid for reciting poetry, rhythm has been used to bring people together: from the chanting of monks to a military cadence.

Ten years after their joint debut 'Flamer', brother and sister, drummer Lander (STUFF., Lander & Adriaan, BeraadGeslagen,…) and dancer Femke Gyselinck (GRIP, ex-Rosas), join forces once again. What once began as a spontaneous professional exchange has grown into a shared artistic language. This time, they are not performing as a duo, but with a group of seven dancers and four musicians on the big stage.

In this performance, rhythm is much more than just a component of the music. It is the foundation on which music and dance come together. The patterns of sounds and silences aid in remembering and singing, playing, or drumming in a group. And they make dancing possible.
