Basically is an ongoing live project. It utilizes the exhibition space as a hybrid production space and playground; a context to practice and perform within. Basically is structured as a choreographic game in which four performers hold the rules of the game constant, incorporating visitors in visible and invisible ways. The work is governed by the formal rules as well as by the subjective interpretations that occur in interactions with and between the participating artists and visitors.

I like to think (and the sooner the better!)of a cybernetic meadowwhere mammals and computerslive together in mutuallyprogramming harmonylike pure watertouching clear sky.
I like to think (right now please!)of a cybernetic forestfilled with pines and electronicswhere deer stroll peacefullypast computersas if they were flowerswith spinning blossoms.I like to think (it has to be!)of a cybernetic ecologywhere we are free of our laborsand joined back to nature,returned to our mammalbrothers and...
Since 2023, Natural Contract Lab (NCL) has been walking-with* the SZenne river and its kin communities including people, dragonflies, willows, sparrows, rain, knotweed, nettles… seen and unseen. From its source, under a willow tree in Naast to its confluence, where the river bifurcates with other bodies of water.STILL HERE is an ephemeral process that is trying to recalibrate the sensuous affection for the SZenne and its kin, to acknowledge water ecosystems and its meaningful relationships. STILL HERE attends to the river, and becomes...
The River and The Devil invites the audience into the ruins of a disappearing river.
During colonial times in the Bolivian Andean Plateau, the river Desaguadero and its uncontrollable forces were demonized as ‘the Devil’ by colonial settlers. Since then, centuries of extraction have dried up the river, transforming it from water to salt. In The River and The Devil, Paula Almiron reimagines the Devil not as a destructive force but as the guardian of the river, exploring resilience and the remnants of fragmented histories. The river has turned into broken pieces, hiding and moving towards us...
A mold refers to two very different things: it is a type of fungus but is also a hollow container to cast a specific form or pattern. As a fungus, a mold functions as a mycelial network that grows in ways that seem uncontrollable: connecting, colonizing, infecting, digesting, fruiting and producing spores. As a pattern, a mold is a matrix, a form that shapes malleable matters. MOLD wants to stage the conflict between spontaneous proliferation and casting, between two different logics in the same body.
Drawing on a variety of practices - mycology, fashion, fermentation, dance and sculpture - MOLD approaches the theater machine as a multiplicity of bodies. We want MOLD not only to be a performance but also a farm. An environment where dance, objects, audience, light, music, scents and costumes interact as living cultures. A garden dedicated to cultivating, abandoning, inoculating, braiding, duplicating, sprouting, warming up and decaying.

Spine Of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit is a performance that draws from individual and collective narratives to create an experience with sonic, visual, spatial and dancing elements.
Stanley Ollivier’s new work takes as a starting point the community building power of POC belonging spaces in order to reformulate familiar choreographic approaches. Together with performers Lily Brieu Nguyen and Mamadou Wagué, they explore everyday reality and social changes through a danced language that reflects the interrelations between the intimate, the body and the creation of a guarded, safe...

In this new work, Carolina Mendonça continues her investigation into violence — not in its immediate explosion, but in its afterlife. Something is Approaching looks beyond the moment of the violent act to trace its long-term effects: the way violence settles into muscle, shapes attention, distorts imagination. If Zones of Resplendence imagined an army rising against sexual violence, this new piece lingers with what violence implants in us: tension, rumination, a sort of damnation, a muscular readiness.
What if our muscles are not only sites of trauma, but also of resistance? What if they have been rehearsing — quietly, daily — for the moment of return? For the moment to fight back? What type of stories are stuck to our tissues that could be released by a single jolt, a sudden movement — a bullet?
This is a choreography of muscular dreams. Bodies that once froze begin to stir — charged by years of imagined confrontations. Ghostly bodies find a space where their haunting can pause. Dreaming becomes a kind of...
a pulse with no body a sun with no sky is the new installation for the theater space of Ezra Veldhuis & Bosse Provoost. As in their previous projects SUN-SET (2020), Indoor Weather (2021) and All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (2023), they evoke a world with its own cosmology, constructed from light, sound and scenography.
In a pulse with no body a sun with no sky, Bosse and Ezra create a zone in which spectators are invited to let go of everyday modes of looking and thinking and open themselves to strange, unsuspected connections and affections between patches of light, patches of sound, bodies and devices. Spectators are seated on stage, which is spanned by an arc of light. A voice speaks and speculates about the sensory capacities and dreams of animals, from sponges to rats. For despite our differences, we rhyme biochemically.

An immersion in the cracks, the non-productivity, and transcendence of the geological base of Brussels; a gathering on water, eroticism and the (un)controlled
This year, for its second edition, Swamp Sacrifices focuses on hydro-eroticism and (un)controlled spaces as potential alternatives to the extreme control and productivity imposed onto the soil and bodies of Brussels.
Understanding the erotic as the deep sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic or intellectual’, Swamp Sacrifices investigates the link between (water)...

In their upcoming performance Stephanie Kayal and Abed Kobeissy revisit their failed crime-fighting duo from their recent work Galactic Crush. Having completely botched their Don-Quixotic mission, they now face total despair as the world crumbles around them. With nothing left to lose, they decide to flee, building a DIY intergalactic spaceship to search for life in another galaxy.
As former antiheroes, and as friends and lovers, they confront an absurd reality with dark humor. In the cold of space, they reflect on their fractured city and...
