GOLEM - Thomas Ryckewaert
première 9, 10 December 2016 @ De Singel, Antwerp


In Golem Thomas Ryckewaert gets to work with The Homunculus of Maimonides, a 14th century Jewish legend. Maimonides, a notorious man of science, is looking for the secret of creation - hoping to outwit death.
Using a stilled, filmic imagery, Ryckewaert combines contemporary science and an age-old human ambition. The desire to create (eternal) life goes hand in hand with a coeval fear: the creation of something that outflanks us. It's a theme that has been fascinating man for ages: from the mythical Golem, passing by Frankenstein to artificial intelligence. A visual performance on the small border between creation and destruction, between reason and fear.
Scenario & direction: Thomas Ryckewaert, Scenography: Erki De Vries, Light: Giacomo Gorini, Sound: Senjan Jansen, Assistant director: Sibran Sampers, Production: Wolff vzw / Hiros, Coproduction: deSingel, Kaaitheater, Vooruit, TAKT Dommelhof, Platform 0090.In collaboration with: Kunstencentrum BUDA, WP Zimmer.

from 6 December until 17 December 2016 @ Theatre National, Brussels

Kamyon illustrates the concept of migration to children and their families.The starting point is the story Two small bags, ten million dreams. A young girl is talking about a trip to the promised land. On her road through Europe, the girl is wondering why she can only take two small bags and why she has to leave all her cuddly toys behind, all but one.
Like the girl, the lorry  travels through Europe. The play follows the road that many migrants have taken and the audience, the children and their families who have listened to her story, will form a long trail across Europe.

With: Rudi Genbrugge, Jessica Fanhan, Deniz Polatoglu … Concept & creation: Michael De Cock, Rudi Genbrugge, Mesut Arslan, Deniz Polatoglu Music: Rudi Genbrugge Set Design: Stef Depover Animation film: Deniz Polatoglu Production: KVS Coproduction: t,Arsenaal Mechelen, Platform 0090, Les Francophonies En Limousin, Ex-Ponto Festival Ljubljana

LES SOEURS / Freija Van Esbroek - Erki De Vries
27 December @ De Maan Mechelen


Les Soeurs is a visual and musical family performance in which two enormous puppets -two sisters- play a leading role. In a big and sophisticated installation a wordless play arises, circling around themes like vulnerability, (in)dependency and emotions. Together with the audience the puppets discover themselves, each other and the world around them. Who really pulls the strings?
In Les Soeurs, the artists create a poetical universe between fantasy and reality. Les Soeurs is an associative and dynamic performance on the boundaries of theatre, music, dance and plastical arts.

Concept Freija Van Esbroeck & Erki De Vries Scenography and mechanics Erki De Vries & Anton Boon Puppets Freija Van Esbroeck Performers Anton Boon, Erki De Vries, Joke Van Canneyt, Kate Olsen, Freija Van Esbroeck Music Ruben Nachtergaele  Light design Thomas Glorieux Directing Benjamin Vandewalle & Ruth Mariën

PIETER VERSTRAETE 
About the Tensions between Theatre and Political Power in Turkey

Pieter Verstraete is currently Lecturer at the American Culture and Literature Department of Hacettepe University in Ankara and Honorary University Fellow in Drama at the University of Exeter.

(Ankara, 2 September 2016.) On 15 July, Turkey experienced its most intense night in a long time. A failed coup attempt startled the country. Some critics believed it was all ‘staged’. Indeed, there was no lack of theatricality. For the first time, we saw the president via FaceTime on television.
