Stanley Ollivier

Spine of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit

STUKLeuven, Belgium

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...

STILL HERE attends to the river, and becomes...

Flesh can’t can’ t not’t ‘tis flesh h…

STUKLeuven, Belgium

Imagine a sci-fi world shaped by the musical genre of reggaeton, the urban dance perreo, the linguistic experience of everyday life through a limited understanding of English, and the historical connection of Central America with the export of exotic fruits. 

This is the world that Flesh can’t can’  t  not’t ‘tis flesh h… invokes, a multisensory performance that mixes live music, projection of text, dance and sculpture. Two burning bodies guide us through the landscapes of a foreign world, to explore the bittersweet ventures of the Global South-Global North migration, and to trace part of the histories found in the Central American region.
