Davi Pontes & Wallace Ferreira
Repertório N.3Anti-colonial dance as resistance against the oppression of Black bodies15.10and16.10How can violence be depicted without endorsing it? Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira lead a trilogy that resists physical, imaginary, and epistemological violence. The third and final part, 'Repertoire N.3,' is a fiery critique of the structural oppression faced by Black bodies.
With references to martial arts and capoeira, Pontes and Ferreira challenge the status quo and offer an alternative vision of a world where Black lives are finally recognized and honored. They break stereotypes about violence and show how marginalized groups experience the world.
Be captivated by an anti-colonial choreography that pushes the boundaries of modern dance and paves a path to a future where equality and dignity take precedence.

El Conde de Torrefiel
La luz de un lago (Het licht van een meer)Speakers as totems challenge our imagination with sound.18.10and19.10The Swiss-Spanish duo Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert are the driving force behind the collective El Conde de Torrefiel. Together, they have been challenging European theater for years with performances that blend theater and music with dance, music, and storytelling. 'La luz de un lago' goes even further and pushes the boundaries of our imagination.
'La luz de un lago' immerses the spectator in the imaginary of a film that is sustained through stage, words and presence. The plot of 'La luz de un lago' is woven by the fragments of life of characters who live in different places and times. The stories appear and disappear, they are inside each other as in a matryoshka of narrativity, a mise en abisme in the deep water of time: a couple who meet at a concert in Manchester, two secret lovers in Athens, a transsexual woman in Paris and a premiere at the Fenice Opera in Venice. 'La luz de un lago' is about love, work and violence in a world that visually collapses between mirages, trompe l'oeil and hallucinations.
With an innovative staging that challenges the limits of language and theatrical conventions, La luz de un lago invites the audience to witness a chain of invoked but elusive images, using scenographic walls, projected text, voice-overs and an immersive sound composition. Throughout the work, the constant struggle to find clarity in a world full of blurs is reflected.
As usual in the artistic proposals of El Conde de Torrefiel, vision and listening enter into collision, in a turbulent oscillation where a crack opens up in the meaning and gives way to the possibility of a place for the spectator's imagination: the only possible image on stage.

Sophie Guisset
Vanilla (18+)Intimate and tender performance with food as a lubricant for sexual fantasy24.10and25.10How can béarnaise sauce teach us something about sexual desires? Berlin-based performer and creator Sophie Guisset seeks to find out for us. With 'Vanilla,' she explores the relationship between pleasure, sexual desire, and food.
Together with performers Enis Turan and Cee Füllemann, Guisset navigates through different rooms filled with sensual experiences. Personal and imaginary stories come to life with proteins - or is it lubricant? - apple pies, and sauces that arouse the performers. Along with a range of fetishes and stories, they ignite the imagination.
'Vanilla' looks beyond the boundaries of what we consider "normal" sexual behavior. With remarkable openness and playfulness, sexuality and fetishism are brought out of the shadows.

not standing / Alexander Vantournhout
every_bodyA complex dance of everyday movements31.10-02.11In every_body, choreographer Alexander Vantournhout, alongside collaborator Emmi Väisänen, delves into everyday movements. They elevate simple actions like handshakes and walking into a complex canvas of bodily dynamics. The duet transforms an ordinary handshake into an intricate choreography of arms, elbows, and shoulders, while a seemingly endless walk showcases the versatility of leg and footwork. In 'every_body', the duo crafts a tapestry of choreography, turning even the subtlest of movements into something remarkable.
The performance is further enriched by the sonic landscape created by composer and guitarist Geoffrey Burton. Multidisciplinary fashion artist Tom Van der Borght designs both the costumes and the surreal setting where 'every_body takes' place.
Over the last decade, Alexander Vantournhout has built a diverse oeuvre. His work includes ensemble pieces like 'Foreshadow' (2023) and 'SCREWS' (2019), as well as solos 'VanThorhout' (2022) and 'ANECKXANDER' (2015). 'Every_body' (2024) is his fourth duet, following projects like 'Through the Grapevine' (2020), 'La Rose en Céramique' (2018), and 'Raphaël' (2017). The new creation marks the next step in his journey to dissect and reinterpret everyday movements, continually challenging and redefining the limits of human physical expression.

Trajal Harrell
Caen AmourErotic dance spectacle as an ode to the female entertainer06.11-07.11'Caen Amour' pays tribute to the female entertainer. American choreographer Trajal Harrell sheds light on a moment in dance history where the boundaries between entertainment, erotic dance, and experimentation were explored. Part fashion show, part striptease. An enchanting tableau of history, spectacle, and imagination.
Before vaudeville and striptease existed, there were "Hoochie Coochie" shows, seductive and provocative belly dance spectacles from the 19th century. In "Caen Amour," they come back to life during a fictional encounter between dance pioneer Loïe Fuller, legendary Japanese dancer Tatsumi Hijikata, and Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo.

Forced Entertainment
Signal to NoiseAn exhilarating spectacle that slowly but surely falls apart15.11and16.11An upbeat spectacle which is slowly breaking apart, 'Signal to Noise' summons a delirious late-night churn of fragments – dances, rehearsals, altercations, scenery changes and unexpected weather reports. AI voices are enlisted to perform the text – their unreal chatter and patter mixing interior monologues, unfinished jokes and off-topic interviews. It all sounds right, more or less human, more or less real. What could go wrong?
The six performers lip-sync all the voices, sometimes carefully, sometimes with unhelpful abandon, bringing life to these disembodied, never-bodied speakers. In the process they summon a strange and compelling world where the question of what’s human and what’s not, what’s real life and what’s just pretending is never far away.
Etchells' musical score mixes everything from filmic atmospheres to noise, xylophones to slowed classical strings, beats, trumpets, grunge guitars, and birdsong, but as ever with the company, the performers are the heart of the work - animating it with the energy and inventiveness that Forced Entertainment have made their calling card.
Created as the group celebrate their 40th Birthday, the show is a powerful mix of performance magic and off-hand deconstruction, a simple idea unfolded to open a unique space for the thoughts, laughter and reflections of spectators.

Voetvolk / Lisbeth Gruwez & Maarten Van Cauwenberghe
NomadicsDancers become a (passing) raging landscape to the tones of environmental techno21.11and22.11In 'Nomadics', eight dancers explore how to lend a voice to nature. It is the place par excellence to unwind, but what do we give back? The performers depict how nature looks back at man and suffers their footsteps. They embody how she reclaims her place and retaliates. This is done from an inadequate - because human - but also infectious and whimsical imagination.
'Nomadics' allows dancers to become a (passing) raging landscape. Sometimes they are tree, sometimes they are grass. Sometimes they are rock or human. This constant transformation results in beauty as well as friction: there is tension in the air. But as physics shows us: friction eventually leads to warmth, deceleration or change. Or again: through the struggle, the dancers in Nomadics seek connection, both with nature and with each other.
In the process, music is in strong symbiosis with dance, as always at Voetvolk. Maarten Van Cauwenberghe has recorded sounds during walks - footsteps, water, wind in the trees, highways... – and has turned them into environmental techno.

Sarah Vanhee
MéméA recognizable narrative about the silent suffering of women05.12and06.12In the solo performance 'Mémé,' performer Sarah Vanhee summons the spirits of her two deceased grandmothers. Through their life stories and with guest appearances by puppets, spirits, and a child, she paints a picture of a society that drastically changed over a hundred years in terms of women's emancipation.
Like many women of their time, Vanhee's grandmothers worked for the majority of their lives. They had to both bear and raise children while working in the fields. They were always in service to others. How does today's world relate to these forgotten women of the past and to the earth they cultivated? And how do we see them reflected in today's forgotten women, whose labor is still exploited?
Mémé is an ode to these 'invisible' women and to life itself. Vanhee brings her grandmothers back to life to reconnect, restore, and then bid farewell again, in a time without boundaries.

Dan Daw
The Dan Daw ShowIntimate portrait of a queer body with a disability11.12and12.12After having spent a lifetime being an inspiration to others, Dan Daw is finally seizing the moment to inspire himself.
Taking ownership of the beautiful mess that encompasses all that he is, Dan lets go of who he once was to make room for who he wants to be.
Dan is joined in an intimate evening of play by performer and collaborator Christopher Owen (Joe Moran, Scottish Dance Theatre) where Dan takes back the power by being dominated on his own terms.

Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods & Dance On Ensemble
GLITCH WITCHMeg Stuart transforms dance and music into a group portrait19.12-21.12In 2018, Meg Stuart was honored with the Golden Lion for 'Lifetime Achievement' at the Venice Biennale. She was recognized for her innovative work in dance and theater, weaving together various disciplines. With 'GLITCH WITCH,' she explores new boundaries, this time with Dance On Ensemble dancer Omagbitse Omagbemi and Japanese sound artist Mieko Suzuki.
Meg Stuart has always seen her own body as a laboratory. By dancing in her own performances, she intuitively dismantles the choreographic principles she seeks to express. Her initially raw, physical dance possesses a subdued care and attention to detail.
By playing with this apparent contradiction, the artists collectively search for a shared language. They build, transform, and move towards a group portrait.

Andrew Graham / Lageste
O amor naturalWhat if care, romance, and desire come together?24.01and25.01In 'O amor natural', choreographer Andrew Graham explores the complexity of touch in human relationships where care, romance, and desire come together. For people with disabilities, touch is often linked to medical care, with other needs frequently ignored.
The concept of consent raises many questions. How do we know what we do and do not want? And how do we communicate this? On what basis can we consent to something we do not yet know? Graham delves into the depth of connection and consent, moving beyond a simple yes or no. Consent is explored in all its non-verbal richness. Whispers, body temperature, breathing, gaze, and speed of movement weave a web of intimacy.
Graham describes 'O amor natural' as "a choreography of non-verbal haikus, where touch is the key to exploring trust between bodies, like the tango that connects two hearts." It invites a deeper understanding of human connection.

Lydia McGlinchey
MadDoGSublime horror reflecting on the insane social order29.01and30.01In 'MadDoG,' dancer and choreographer Lydia McGlinchey pays homage to the aesthetics of Gothic, horror, and heavy metal. Inspired by centuries-old lace techniques, she transforms the theater into an impressive artwork where the scenography forms the core, like a 'knot' connecting various elements and issues.
'MadDoG' does not label darkness as evil but rather superficiality and challenges us to think further. The title of the performance refers to the madness of contemporary images of mass murders, advertisements from electronics stores, and photos of photoshopped women on yachts. High and low culture are intertwined. In this experience of closely connected disturbing contradictions, McGlinchey sees knotting as a relevant aesthetic concern. In 'MadDoG,' the knot symbolizes the impossibility of purity.
Three performers and a musician take center stage, combining spoken word, dance, and music.

Mette Ingvartsen
RUSHImpetuous dance journey through a body of work31.01and01.02Mette Ingvartsen, resident artist at VIERNULVIER, has been collaborating with dancer Manon Santkin for 20 years. Especially for her, Ingvartsen wrote the solo 'RUSH,' a tribute to their long, intense collaboration and to performance itself.
Manon Santkin presents a retelling of previous performances she created with Ingvartsen. In a tumultuous 'rush,' highlights are brought back to life, and new forms emerge. Within the framework of a larger body of work, Santkin tells her own story, and her body undergoes a chameleon-like transformation. A tidal wave of energy emerges, with the joy of performing radiating from it.

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Radouan Mriziga / Rosas, A7LA5
Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’InventioneDancing to the core of Vivaldi's masterpiece 'The Four Seasons'12.02-15.02For this dance creation, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Radouan Mriziga drew inspiration from Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece 'The Four Seasons,' performed by violinist Amandine Beyer and her ensemble Gli Incogniti. This iconic piece, known as a classical hit and tribute to nature, forms the basis of their choreography.
De Keersmaeker and Mriziga share a passion for natural observation, geometry, and abstraction. They express concerns about our ever-changing relationship with nature. Patterns, structures, and natural elements inspire the choreography. Reflecting on the seasons underscores the urgency of the climate crisis. Can we still speak of four seasons today? Vivaldi composed the work exactly three hundred years ago, which also prompts us to reflect on geopolitical dynamics and knowledge dissemination.
In 'Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione,' various threads are woven into a unique choreographic language, which harks back to the core and structure of 'The Four Seasons.' The performance also explores the contemplative aspect of this composition and the familiarity of both the music and nature.

Simon Baetens
I'm Not DoneDrag, poetry, and theatrical pop music merge into a dream world21.02and22.02Theatre maker and performer Simon Baetens was a co-founder of the Ghent drag collective House Of Lux. With 'I'm Not Done,' he presents an intense, playful performance about self-projection, loneliness, and being on the road. For the first time, his drag alter ego 'Electra' leaves the club and appears on stage.
Electra takes the audience on a musical journey through transformative virtual and emotional landscapes. Through a combination of drag, music, video, and text, a dream-like world is created where the boundaries between technology and reality are no longer distinguishable.
'I'm Not Done' is a performance like a doomscroll, where pop music guides you through the labyrinth of the internet. It pays homage to the shameless theatricality of pop concerts and the poetry of song lyrics. Can exuberance and depth go hand in hand?

TIM ETCHELLS / NTGENT
How Goes the World - Histoire(s) du Théâtre (V)Reflectie op 40 jaar theatermaken21.03and22.03Ze verdwijnen en verschijnen door deuren die op de een of andere manier van muren zijn gescheiden. Ze haasten zich om deel uit te maken van een toneelstuk dat ofwel nog niet is begonnen ofwel al decennia geleden is afgelopen. Ze zijgen neer op de sofa en huilen. Ze veren woedend recht uit hun leunstoel en zakken vervolgens als amnesielijders weer in elkaar. De piano speelt hetzelfde deuntje steeds opnieuw, de melodie vermalend en verwringend.
Met Tim Etchells voegt NTGent een grote naam toe aan de lijst (inter)nationale makers die een productie creëren voor de reeks Histoire(s) du Théâtre. Als titel van zijn bijdrage kiest Etchells, artistiek leider van het vermaarde collectief Forced Entertainment, een zinsnede uit Shakespeares Macbeth: ‘How goes the world’.

Jan Martens / GRIP
VOICE NOISEVrouwenstemmen vechten terug tegen het patriarchaat11.04and12.04From ancient Greece to today: the female voice is often labeled as unnecessary or, more bluntly, annoying noise. Choreographer Jan Martens amplifies a different voice. With 'Voice Noise,' he gives innovative, unknown, or forgotten female musicians from the past hundred years of music history a stage. From the delicate Broadway soprano Ruby Elzy to Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq.
'Voice Noise' is inspired by Anne Carson's 1995 essay 'The Gender of Sound,' in which the American poet reveals how patriarchal culture attempts to silence women by associating their voices with monstrosity, disorder, and death. Six dancers confront recordings in which the human voice is heard in various forms: humming, soothing, screaming, whispering, or singing. Along the way, they discover their own voices.

Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe | Toneelhuis
Mantike Bloom BoomA hopeful warning for the future09.05and10.05The ancient Greeks saw an art in predicting and recognizing omens such as the flight of birds, the position of trees, the wandering of bees. They called this Mantikê tékhnê. Just like back then, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe's performance 'Mantike Bloom Boom' seeks the signs necessary for restoration and urgent renewal of our thinking about the world.
'Mantike Bloom Boom' starts from the electrically charged atmosphere of an abandoned landscape. The moment when everything seems to be going to ruin - Boom! - and suddenly light appears on the horizon - Bloom! Like the prelude to a storm, when the cows gather under a tree, the sky darkens, and the first breeze picks up. What can a person still undertake in such a landscape?
Like a whirlwind, actress Marjan De Schutter storms onto the stage in various forms. There is only one last link between dying bees and our fate. 'Mantike Bloom Boom' is a hopeful warning with predictions and vivid explosions. The end time is narrowly avoided.

Wauhaus
FluidsDancing bodies between intimacy and failure04.10and05.10A strange spectacle on ice and a slippery stage combine in the two-part performance "Fluids," the first collaboration between Finnish art collective WAUHAUS and Estonian dance production company Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava.
The performers’ bodies navigate a highly slippery stage. They are vulnerable, constrained in their movements, and meld into one another as they dance. Using J-Lube, a highly effective lubricant, they are compelled into an unstable movement language that constantly teeters between awkwardness and grace.
How can we be moved by another person? How can we let ourselves be surprised by emotions instead of always trying to control the course of our lives? "Fluids" invites the audience to experience empathy, intimacy, and failure.

BERLIN / Yves Degryse, Bart Baele & Cathy Blisson
ZvizdalSuperstition, vodka, and the nuclear disaster: a universal portrait of loneliness, hope, and love26.09-28.09Chernobyl, April 26, 1986. The explosion of a reactor drastically changed the lives of the people in and around the city of Pripyat. Almost everyone was evacuated and never returned. Everyone except Pétro and Nadia. With "Zvizdal," the Antwerp theater group BERLIN paints a warm, deeply human portrait of a stubborn couple who refused to leave their home after the nuclear disaster.
Nearly forty years later, Pétro and Nadia still live in their old village, a ghost town. For five years, BERLIN regularly traveled to Chernobyl to interview them and gain insight into their lives and choices. How do they endure a life of isolation for years on end? We see Pétro and Nadia, now well into their 80s, enduring in a contaminated zone and chosen solitude. No running water, electricity, phone, or mail. Instead, they rely on superstition, vodka, swearing, singing, and the ailments of old age.
"Zvizdal" is the sixth installment in the "Holocene" series, in which BERLIN tries to capture our era. Film, poetry, and documentary blend with theater and fiction. The result is a universal story about loneliness, survival, poverty, hope, and love.

Jeremy Nedd & Impilo Mapantsula
blue nile to the galaxy around olodumareAn Afrofuturistic experience with South African dance set to the cosmic jazz of Alice Coltrane19.09and20.09From the spiritual jazz of Alice Coltrane and Bheki Mseleku to pantsula, the South African dance that gave an entire generation a voice during apartheid. With "blue nile to the galaxy around olodumare," choreographer and dancer Jeremy Nedd explores the Black diaspora and immerses us in a cosmic, Afrofuturistic experience.
Collaborating with the dance collective Impilo Mapantsula, Nedd bridges jazz as an expression of African American self-determination with pantsula, a powerful movement language known for its virtuoso footwork. Improvisation is central to both the music and the dance.
The performance draws inspiration from cosmic phenomena: from the birth of a galaxy to the death of a star. By connecting the energetic and lyrical jive style of pantsula with echoes of past protests against oppression, the performers reflect on the compression of space and time, and our illusions of progress toward the future.

Amaury Vanderborght en Cathy Blisson (PAL/SECAM)
Gratis spektakel als seizoensopener: 'Combustion'Vuurwerk als rookgordijn voor de massa13.09We are kicking off the new season with a bit of fireworks. And you can take that literally. During the open-air performance 'Combustion', fireworks will be set off and videos will be projected. Expect an impressive spectacle during this musical and visual trip from performer Amaury Vanderborght and dramaturge Cathy Blisson.
Vanderborght has a background as a circus artist, but he also delved into pyrotechnic techniques. Translation: he knows how to assemble fireworks. Blisson earned her stripes as a maker of documentary productions. Combine all that experience, and you get an explosive mix. Together, they explore our desire for symmetry, spectacle, and uniformity.
National commemorations, military parades, sports demonstrations, pop concerts, or folk festivals: fireworks are often used as the grand finale for large-scale events. But what symbols lie hidden behind this smokescreen? Blisson and Vanderborght dig deeper. They traveled to China and captured the contrast with workers in local fireworks factories. In doing so, they question the use of entertainment as a tool for mass distraction.

Alessandro Sciarroni
Save the last dance for meOde to an Almost Extinct Men's Dance13.09-15.09The polka chinata is a "courting dance" from the early 20th century that was traditionally performed only by men. With "Save The Last Dance For Me," choreographer, dancer, and Golden Lion winner Alessandro Sciarroni breathes new life into this old Bolognese tradition.
Sciarroni discovered the dance in 2018 when only five elderly men in Italy were still practicing it. He collaborated with dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini to develop a performance. This was no small feat, as the dance is physically demanding, almost acrobatic, involving the dancers whirling around in an embrace while bending their knees close to the ground. The traditional accordion has been replaced with electronic music.
It seems Sciarroni has already succeeded in his mission to rescue this once-popular tradition from obscurity.

Mattias De Craene x 'The Holy Mountain'
VIDEODROOM 202416.10Exactly 50 years ago, Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky shocked Cannes festival with the premiere of his film "The Holy Mountain"; a psychedelic slice of surrealism that became a true cult classic over the years.

Sun Ra Arkestra / Moor Mother
Double bill29.10Moor Mother
Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother is a poet, artist, musician and activist operating out of Philadelphia. Her music is an atmospheric patchwork of spoken word, electronics and instrumentation, which Sun Ra enjoys in the afro-futuristic afterlife. Her lyrics are activist and philosophical commentaries on history, consciousness, identity and politics.
Moor Mother has been active since 2012 and is has recently released her ninth full-length album, 'The Great Bailout'. A record on which she sketches some uncomfortable historical scenes. The title refers to the astronomical amount Britain paid to slave owners in 1835 is compensation of slavery being abolished. A sum that punched such a hole in the British treasury that it wasn't fully paid back until 2015. With tax money, of course.
Sun Ra Arkestra
He was one of the key figures in the avant-garde jazz of the 1960s, along with artists such as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Albert Ayler. From the mid-1950s, Sun Ra led The Arkestra (an intentional re-spelling of ‘orchestra’), an ensemble with an ever-changing line-up and name. His music touched on almost the entire history of jazz, from ragtime to swing music, from bebop to free jazz. He also pioneered electronic music, space music and free improvisation, and was one of the first musicians, regardless of genre, to make extensive use of electronic keyboards.
After his death, the Akrestra was led by tenor saxophonist John Gilmore and then alto saxophonist Marshall Allen and saxophonist Knoel Scott.

DARKSIDE
06.11During this tour, they will be joined by percussionist Tlacael Esparza, who has joined as a permanent member. Fans can look forward to new work. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m.
In the summer of 2011, American guitarist Dave Harrington was part of Nicolás Jaar's live band that toured Europe and Australia in support of his breakthrough debut album "Space Is Only Noise. During that tour, both experimented every spare moment to create a new palette of sounds. The result? A dark and stealthy mix of electronica and psychedelic-tinged rock on a bed of Jaar's haunting vocals from which their self-titled EP sprouted in 2011. They also miraculously remixed Daft Punk's full-length album 'Random Access Memories' which was listened to millions of times: "The project transcends the standard remix record and the duo is widely praised for their ability to balance originality and playfulness" (Focus Knack).
Then in 2013 they released their debut album "Psychic," preceded by the single "Golden Arrow. The record received a 9.0 from Pitchfork and the New York Times called it "the soundtrack to a lost David Lynch sci-fi movie."
The long-awaited second album, "Spiral," followed in 2021, preceded by singles "Liberty Bell," "The Limit" and "Lawmaker. After eight years, DARKSIDE announced their return to European stages, with headlining shows in Paris, Toulouse, Manchester and London.

Berre
Jong talent met een unieke stem07.11These days, Berre sells out big venues, but two years ago, Berre's live music was still mainly heard in public. He started as a street musician and shared his covers on TikTok, including from his parents' garage. These videos quickly went viral, making his distinctive voice literally go around the world. His debut single "Say My Name" became an instant success, making it to full-fledged artist overnight. Streams for his subsequent singles, including "Better Off Alone", "Thrill Of It All" and "Kissing Strangers" also ran into the millions.

Lander & Adriaan
+ Party09.11Lander & Adriaan is a Belgian duo with drummer Lander Gyselinck (Stuff.,Beraadgeslagen,LABtrio) and Adriaan Van de Velde (Pomrad, Mauro Pawlowski, J. Bernardt). Their common fondness for slick digital synths and 90s underground dance music genres brought them together to submerge in symbiotic jams during the very first lockdown in 2020. After a bunch of very successful under-the-radar concerts, they recorded an album in the summer of 2021 that was released in the spring of 2022. Their gently disturbed mashup of 90s dance music genres like Chicago juke, Detroit techno, UK-Funky, Classic rave with corny jazz fusion and mundane jazz improv brings you to a pleasantly disturbed realm of unguilty pleasures, sheer weirdness and pure excitement.
‘Post Nudism Rave’ they call it. Others call it ‘free rave’, ’confusi-trance’ and ’sophisti-rave’. A shiny 3D pixie fantasyland juxtaposed with a gritty dark smokey underworld of slimy aliens and smelly trolls. You’ll be experiencing the quantum thrills of interplanetary ambient drones, sweet drumming frenzy, pulpy saccharine melodies, mushy basslines, all gently weaved into raw sweat-drippy dance music. Get (half) nude and dance!
For this show we put this inimitable duo on a stage in the middle of our round club, surrounded by audience and the 360° immersive sound system. And if that's not enough, tickets for Lander & Adriaan also give access to the nighlife event back-to-back with the show... You know what to do!

Celeste
support: Divided10.11With over 800 concerts around the world and appearances at the most prestigious extreme music festivals (Hellfest, Roskilde, Copenhell, Roadburn,...) 1 EP and 5 albums, CELESTE can be considered one of the most important bands of the famous French Avant Garde black metal scene.
CELESTE brings a mix of Sludge / Post-hardcore with hints of Black Metal and doom.
Total darkness in atmosphere, and you can take that quite literally. CELESTE's live shows are unique because the band plays in total darkness, with only a few red headlights (and once troboscope).
Heavy in all aspects...

Their latest album, Fenice, symbolizes rebirth, featuring new drummer Levre. Departing from cosmic themes, Fenice offers an introspective journey through six interconnected facets. Synths and experimental vocals play a central role, showcasing the band's evolution. Each track on Fenice feels inevitable, reflecting UFOMAMMUT's mastery of sonic exploration. Poia and Urlo, also founders of Malleus and Supernatural Cat label, infuse Fenice with a rejuvenated essence, delivering gargantuan riffs and immersive sonic landscapes.

Nadine Shah + Nadiem Shah
Nadiem Shah19.11Scottish with Pakistani-Norwegian roots Nadine Shah is often described - both in voice and mystique - as a mix of PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. She debuted in 2012 with two EPs featuring her brooding, atmospheric blend of midnight loner pop and indie rock, followed by the album "Love Your Dum and Mad" in 2013.
On her third (Mercury Prize-nominated) 2017 album, 'Holiday Destination,' she confronted right-wing nationalism and the conservative government around the ongoing plight of refugees. Shah is no stranger to speaking out for causes she strongly believes in, be it promoting mental health awareness or women's rights.
Her latest album is called "Filthy Underneath" and chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in Nadine Shah's life and has a decidedly vibrant and powerful drive. She lets the demons she has conquered during her thirty-seven years of life pass before her with a balletic beauty. Nadine co-wrote the music with partner in crime and producer Ben Hillier, focusing on melody and movement.

Maan
27.11Maan is one of the biggest stars in the Dutch pop firmament. Since 2016, she has appeared on the billboards of major festivals such as Pinkpop, Paaspop and Zwarte Cross. She played sold-out club tours and, as icing on the cake, she performed her own show in a sold-out Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
Her latest album, 2022's 'Leven' (Dutch for 'life') features a lot of very personal songs that demonstrate musical and personal growth over her early work. It also features collaborations with such big names as De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, Fresku and Goldband. Singles 'Blijven Slapen' and 'Stiekem' each count more than 70 million(!) streams on Spotify, the latter even becoming the most streamed song in the Netherlands in 2023.

Jessica Pratt
30 YEARS TOUTPARTOUT29.11From the opening seconds of 'Life Is', it’s clear that 'Here in the Pitch' is a very different kind of album from Jessica Pratt. The respected Los Angeles artist has become one of the most singular and distinctive songwriters of her generation, largely through the bewitching sound of her acoustic guitar and vocals: a mystical, elusive blend that conjures deep emotional responses from her audience.

Compact Disk Dummies
Extra datum04.12and05.12Compact Disk Dummies had from their very beginning the intention to get their audience on the dance floor, and that remains a mantra set in stone even with new album "The Signal." Forward singles "There's No Sex Without You" and "fomo" already suggested the best and struck a chord with radio and audiences alike, who came out in droves to cheer the band on the festival fields of Werchter and Pukkelpop during the summer of 2023.
"The Signal" is the third full-length album after "Silver Souls" (2016) and "Neon Fever Dream" (2020), which appeared during a Corona-short-lived period that the brothers were still able to bend a bit to their will thanks to inventive online campaigns. There was no sitting still in the meantime. In February 2023, they gave another crazy party at Vooruit, dropped a docu on VRTMAX, followed later that year by another sold-out concert in the main hall of Ancienne Belgique. But looking backwards for long is not for the Dummies. As one of Belgium's most compelling live bands, they are ready to play two sold-out Roma's in Antwerp, a series of Dutch clubs and your festival summer in 2024 ́to introduce their brand new album. The signal cannot be ignored: time to bang!

The Bony King Of Nowhere
support: Ivy Falls12.12and13.12The albums of The Bony King of Nowhere always emerge from an urgent "now" in Bram Vanparys' life. He then pours these into a collection of songs, just as his great examples Nick Cave, Mark Hollis and PJ Harvey do.
In 2018, he released 'Silent Days,' an album that was showered with starred reviews and awarded an MIA. This success was followed by the corona period and a creative drought that would last two years, resulting in persistent self-doubt. A difficult point in the career of an artist who never wants to repeat himself. The need to reinvent himself after the success of 'Silent Days' was greater than ever, but the road to a new sound was long and at times grueling. The result: 'Everybody Knows,' still the sixth album from The Bony King of Nowhere.

UITGELEZEN OKTOBER
met Ruth Joos, Ibe Rossel, Angelo Tijssens & Arno Van VlierbergheEen avond vol literatuur29.10Op dinsdag 29 oktober vergezellen Ibe Rossel, Angelo Tijssens en Arno Van Vlierberghe presentator Ruth Joos. Samen bespreken ze drie boeken, zorgvuldig geselecteerd door onze redactie.
Julia Schoch - 'Het liefdespaar van de eeuw'
"Eigenlijk is het heel eenvoudig: ik ga bij je weg", zo luidt de eerste zin van 'Het liefdespaar van de eeuw' van Julia Schoch. Eenvoudig is het gelukkig voor de literatuur nooit echt geweest, maar weggaan – of proberen weggaan, grenzen opzoeken, oversteken, afbakenen, terugkeren, daarover willen we het deze maand hebben. Het koppel in Schochs roman beleefde haar mooiste tijd in de DDR. Vele jaren en veranderingen later doen man en vrouw er alles aan om van het geheel weer twee afzonderlijke delen te maken.
James Baldwin - 'Giovanni's kamer'
Niet minder pijnlijk, helder en herkenbaar schrijft James Baldwin over de liefde in 'Giovanni’s kamer'. Een nieuwe vertaling ter ere van de honderdste verjaardag van de auteur maakt nogmaals duidelijk waarom Baldwin zijn iconische status verwierf: hij was een baken voor al wie afwijkt van de norm en een fenomenaal schrijver, een auteur die de literatuur boeiender maakte door te morrelen aan poorten die veel te lang op slot zaten.
"Van een gewelddadige, pijnlijke schoonheid." – San Francisco Chronicle
Safae el Khannoussi - 'Oroppa'
Het laatste boek van oktober is het luid bejubelde en betoverende debuut van Safae el Khannoussi: 'Oroppa'. Een heerlijk klassieke roman die uit zijn voegen barst van de personages, de fantasie, de verhaallijnen en het vertelplezier, maar door de thema’s ook onmiskenbaar hedendaags. 'Oroppa' gaat over diegenen die hun leven opbouwen in de marge van ons continent en biedt een meeslepende kijk in de coulissen van Europa.
"Met het grandioze Oroppa heeft de Nederlandstalige literatuur er een geweldige schrijver bij." - De Standaard
Als Vooruitlezer mogen we deze maand Lize Spit verwelkomen, die een fragment zal lezen uit haar langverwachte nieuwe boek: 'Autobiografie van mijn lichaam'. Verder wordt de avond muzikaal opgeluisterd en tijdens de tombola maak je bovendien kans om één van de besproken titels te winnen.

Derek Otte
Tijd OverTriomfantelijke metaforen en knap in elkaar geregen woordkunst06.11Derek Otte is al lang geen onbekende naam meer bij onze Noorderburen. Als stotteraar begon hij zijn gedachten neer te schrijven. Hij schopte het tot stadsdichter van Rotterdam in 2017 en 2018 en schreef een aantal dichtbundels. Ondertussen vond hij ook zijn weg naar het podium als spoken word-artiest. Hij groeide uit tot een van de meest toonaangevende stemmen in Nederland.
Na zijn succesvolle theatertour met zijn debuutvoorstelling ‘De tijd is om’, had Derek Otte nog wat tijd over. Het leverde hem een nieuwe voorstelling op. In ‘Tijd Over’ staan teksten uit zijn eerste voorstelling centraal, aangevuld met oud én nieuw werk van deze poëet in hart en nieren.
Otte geeft rijm en ritme aan herkenbare levenslessen en de wereld om ons heen. Thema’s van nu worden op hoog tempo gebracht. Fijngevoelig maar toch ook recht-voor-de-raap.

DE ARENA
Wie heeft het laatste woord over het kind: de staat of de ouder?01.10Kinderen hebben terecht rechten, vastgelegd in het Verdrag inzake de Rechten van het Kind, maar dat mag niet betekenen dat verantwoordelijkheid uit het oog verloren wordt. Naast het recht op inspraak en bescherming, hebben kinderen ook de plicht om onze regels en waarden te respecteren. Dus, wie grijpt in als dat misloopt? De ouders, de school, de politie of de rechtbank?
Daarbovenop rijst de vraag hoe we omgaan met culturele tradities die botsen met kinderrechten. Tradities kunnen nooit een excuus zijn om die rechten te schenden.
Aan wie is het - ouders, leraren, beleidsmakers, politie, rechters ? – om grenzen te stellen? Hoe begeleiden we de jeugd naar een toekomst waarin rechten en plichten hand in hand gaan? Waar vinden we elkaar?
Als gasten verwelkomen we schrijver en journalist Margot Vanderstraeten en voorzitter van het Kinderarmoedefonds Noël Slangen. Ons panel bestaat uit Walter Van Steenbrugge en Amir Bachrouri. Lisbeth Imbo modereert. Het publiek (be)oordeelt.
Welkom in De Arena!

UITGELEZEN SEPTEMBER
met Ruth Joos, Ibe Rossel, Melissa Giardina, Kurt Van Eeghem & Stefan HertmansAn evening filled with literature24.09Uitgelezen, het boekenprogramma van Behoud de Begeerte en VIERNULVIER, is klaar voor een nieuw seizoen. Op dinsdag 24 september wordt presentator Ruth Joos vergezeld door Ibe Rossel, Melissa Giardina en Kurt Van Eeghem. Samen bespreken ze drie boeken, zorgvuldig geselecteerd door onze redactie.
Rachel Cusk - 'Parade'
In 'Parade' onderzoekt Rachel Cusk waar de grenzen van de traditionele roman liggen en toont ze de lezer een carrousel aan levens. Ze gaat voorbij aan identiteit en plot, draait de taal ondersteboven, om een waar verhaal te vertellen over kunst, familie, moraliteit en seksualiteit.
"Opnieuw gefundenes Fressen voor wie niet vies is van een intellectuele uitdaging." - Humo
Anneleen Van Offel - 'De stem van Sulina'
Een lyrische roman over de geboorte van een moeder, zwervende zielen en de ziel van het zwerven, geschreven met de stuwende kracht van een wereldrivier. Archeologische opgravingen en eeuwenoude verhalen, confronterende vragen en dromen, lichamelijke transformaties en vergeten vrouwen geven richting aan de mentale reis van een jonge schrijfster die moeder wordt
"Met 'De stem van Sulina' schreef Anneleen Van Offel een wervelend boek over moederschap, ontheemding en transformatie." - De Tijd
Arnon Grunberg & Thé Tjong-Khing - 'Zevenpoot'
Arnon Grunbergs satirische vertelling 'Zevenpoot', in de geest van Rabelais, is een zachtaardig commentaar op kunst, cultuur, ideologie en maatschappij. Thé Tjong-Khing zorgde voor de illustraties – zeker zo speels als de tekst.
"Een zeer geslaagde (en grappige) serenade aan de mens." - De Volkskrant
Elke gast aan tafel geeft ook een persoonlijke boekentip mee. Als Vooruitlezer verwelkomen we niemand minder dan Stefan Hertmans naar aanleiding van zijn nieuwste boek dat begin oktober verschijnt: 'Dius'. Daarin beschrijft hij het levensverhaal van een onmodieuze kunstenaarsziel en ontleedt hij de vriendschap tussen twee mannen, meer bepaald tussen een student en zijn docent. Verder zorgt Oriana Ikomo voor muzikale intermezzo’s. Tijdens de tombola maak je bovendien kans om één van de besproken titels te winnen.
