On 9 and 10 December, Aubrey Birch will perform CAVES-3 at K1. In an immersive performance - during which you can feel free to lie down - the writer, poet and performer reinterprets the allegory of the cave. Starting from the present and everyday, audience and performer descend into the past and future, to our geological roots. To the stone in our bones, the iron in our blood and the salt in our sweat...

Performances 'Kinshasa mon corps' / 'Tala Lelo' & screening

Éric Androa Mindre Kolo is known for his performances which emphasize the relationship between the body, current events, and global conflicts. It takes a poetic look at the future, examining the role of humour, personal testimonies, and the public space.
In performances by Yannos Majestikos, his exuberant costumes, often used in public space, draw attention to issues such as environmental crisis and colonial heritage. In these performances at K1, the artists turn their attention towards Brussels and Kinshasa's urban fabric.

Leopoldville mourning

During her performance Leopoldville mourning, Tankwey takes the participants in a funeral procession from the Monument au Travail (Rue Claessens, 1020 Brussels) to the church of Laeken, where Belgian royalty including Leopold II is buried.

Love Dynamics: Hold
10/09/2022
Love Dynamics: Hold is about the difficulty of setting boundaries in the right place when you are made vulnerable by a budding love. At those moments when the desire to please the other person and our own needs collide, how far are we willing to follow the dynamics of the loved one?

Birds
18/09/2022
Following the success of Tornar (2015) and INVITED (2018), dancer and choreographer Seppe Baeyens builds upon his exploration of shaping a temporary community in Birds. For this new creation, he steps outside the theatre walls and ventures into the public space with a group of performers and musicians. There the normal course of events is interrupted – sometimes invisibly and sometimes plainly.

- 26/08, RUE ULENSSTRAAT, 15:30 - 18:30
Exploring the space between installation and performance, FLIES is an in situ piece that ‘activates’ the vertical plane. Four performers suspended by rope move through evolving cycles of jumping, falling, and running. By inhabiting (traditionally regarded) uninhabitable space, FLIES invites the audience to look at the world from a new perspective. A moment to notice, and give time to, the familiar surfaces that normally go unnoticed in our day to day activities.

Pandora’s myth probably first surfaced to help us answer age-old questions. Why do people get sick and die? Why do bad things happen? And while Pandora is often cast as the reviled bringer of evil, she also brought fertility, since birth and death did not exist before she released them.
