BRAAKLAND/ZHEBILDING and the musical theatre production ‘ADEM’
Wed 9 November 2011, 9 pm
A recognisable production by Kris Cuppens about the course of life, played and sung by Sara Vertongen, Geert Waegeman, Nathalie Delcroix, Jorunn Bauweraerts (Laïs) and others.
In 2011, the city company Braakland/ZheBilding was awarded the K.U.Leuven Culture Prize. This is an ideal occasion to discover their work at UUR KULtUUR. With Kris Cuppens, we are certainly in good company. Five years after the award winning theatre solo ‘Lied’, we are convinced that ‘Adem’ will be at least as successful.

DANCE: KRIS VERDONCK / A TWO DOGS COMPANY presents ‘I/II/III/IIII’
Wed 22 February 2012, 9 pm
‘I/II/III/IIII’ intrigues audiences from beginning to end. The stage is transformed into a ‘human puppet show’: four dancers hang like puppets in a large machine that controls their movements. A solo, duet, trio and pas-de-quatre follow one another in sequence. The images ‘I/II/III/IIII’ evokes are confusing and ambiguous. Of floating angels, falling carcasses and everything in between.

Free for students with a K.U.Leuven Culture Card

THEATRE: ONTROEREND GOED & SYDNEY THEATRE COMPANY present ‘A HISTORY OF EVERYTHING’
Wed 28 March 2012, 9 pm
Ontroerend Goed has fallen on hard times. They have just toured Canada, the USA and Australia with ‘Once and For All...’, which received universal praise from critics and audiences alike. Actress Cate Blanchett was so impressed that she asked the company to create a new production with her own Sydney Theatre Company. Get ready for ‘A History of Everything’, from the big bang until today.
