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.

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.

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.

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.
