Triumph of Empathy What role can the oldest tragedy in the theatre canon, ‘Persians’ by Aeschylus, still play within the context of a long-running, highly polarised matter such as Israel's oppression on Palestine. GAZE In GAZE, three women are exhibited in a gigantic terrarium. Trapped in a world where watching and being watched is the standard, they examine what role their bodies can (still) play, will and may play in their quest for recognition. DIGNITY One population. One shared history. One scene. Inspired by research in Tunisia, Chokri Ben Chikha creates a space confronting colonial legacies and today’s social divides. Truth or dignity? Come, experience and decide for yourself. THE TIME IT TAKES {nomadic} (INTER:ACTION) In a seemingly abandoned place where time solidifies, two bodies are subjected to a machine of tight rhythms and electronic sounds. Like in a feverish dream, the two bodies try to break free, looking for an alternative. In what remains, they fantasise about a place where time is spent differently. The Truth Commission Netherlands Is it a performance, a theatrical production or a real truth commission? The terms don't matter. Come and see for yourself. Flemish Primitives Flemish Primitives shines new light on flashy talent shows and the malleability of success. Together with seven young performers, director Chokri Ben Chikha explores the relationship between the urge to excel and the spectacularization of difference. Métisse A three generations story on the torn identity of metis children. Dihya How do you make a world where everything seems connected a better place? What can you actually change? How radical can resistance be? Amnesty/Amnesia Amnesty/Amnesia draws the card of radical reconciliation. What happens when the daughter of an East Fronter comes face to face with the mother of an ISIS warrior? AMNE(I)S(T)IA: Say Sorry The Truth Commission Is it a theatre play, a performance or an actual truth commission? The terminology is unimportant. It is an event that hits the participants in the face. Flandrien Action Zoo Humain woudn't be Action Zoo Humain if they couldn't wrap these themes into a fierce slap-in-the-face, resolving at the same time in some fascinating and not too pedantic theater. De Zwarte Schande (The Black Shame) The story of Martin Schiltmeier, former footballer and grandchild of a Senegalese soldier who fought in the First World War. Join the Revolution Crowdfunding for art: ‘How can we as artists today support the fledgling democracy in Tunisia?’ Hotel Ah!Med In Hotel Ah!Med the youngsters of socio-artistic association Union Suspecte give their hilarious view of large holiday resorts. Or about how overripe machos and superficial blondes are thoroughly made fun of. Gülers Travels Güler, top entrepreneur and guide, leads the travellers along the Succesvolle Turkse Ondernemers [successful Turkish entrepreneurs] (STE) in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Who are these STEs? What do they do and what drives them? L'Afrique c'est Chic Not pretentious. The weaknesses of the actors becomes their strength. It'll take you from the beginning to the end because of the diversity and emotions ... No boredom ... Touching! Marie Madeleine (Maria Magdalena) 'What binds me has been slain, and what turns me about has been overcome […] and from the fetter of oblivion which is transient.' Gospel according to Mary Magdalene Onze Lieve Vrouw Van Vlaanderen / Our Lady of Flanders This mini constellation is a melting pot, and at times even a pressure cooker. Patience and horny skills, understanding, nervousness and all the inserted cultural influences balance each other out. Vive!Aldi Inspired by their experiences in the Aldi supermarket, a group of young actors and dancers put their personal version of supermarkets on the map – including dirt cheap goods and ditto staff. De Leeuw van Vlaanderen / The Lion of Flanders De Leeuw van Vlaanderen is an extremely intense hour of musical theatre, without boredom or weak moments, hopping from art and popular culture, from repugnance and amazement, between protest and acceptance. And had we already told you that the new Flemish lion has long dreadlocks?
