Stephanie Kayal & Abed Kobeissy

Galactic Crush II: Into the Cold

DE SINGELAntwerp, Belgium
In the midst of a genocidal present and an uncertain future, Stephanie Kayal and Abed Kobeissy revisit their failed crime-fighting power couple from their recent work Galactic Crush Part 1. After completely botching their Don Quixotic mission, the two protagonists face total despair and decide to flee their homeland. They build a DIY intergalactic spaceship and take off in search of hope in another galaxy. Confronting their protagonists with a harsh gaze, Kayal and Kobeissy question the ethics surrounding such a decision at a time when an...

Moya Michael

Darling(s)

KVSBrussels, Belgium

DARLING (2013) emerged from the friendship between Moya Michael and Igor Shyshko, two artists born in the same year yet shaped by radically different socio‑political realities: apartheid South Africa and post‑Chornobyl Soviet Belarus. Their conversations on nationality, place, and historical circumstance gave rise to a performance tracing their individual and overlapping timelines, from their birth year in 1976 to their meeting in 1997. Through archival recordings, political speeches, and personal sound memories, they built a dense aural collage that became an autonomous presence within the performance, a “third dancer” mediating between historical narrative and the corporeal present.

Stanley Ollivier

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

Théâtre VariaBrussels, 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...
