Vader
De dans van Peeping Tom duwt bepaalde motieven naar de uiterste grenzen van de acrobatiek. Maar tussen gekneusde, nostalgische mensen of verliefde mensen zijn de situaties diep dramatisch en met gevoel uitgedrukt. Dit nieuwe stuk ontwikkelt de generieke persona van de oude vader, zijn mythologie, zijn prestige en zijn spot, zijn beklagenswaardige macht die wordt weggevaagd door geleidelijke desintegratie. Het is een intens menselijk portret.

The script of physical actions is inspired by the Japanese film A ballad de Naraiama (1983), by Shohei Imamura, the one with tearing images, like that of the son carrying his mother on his back, embraced by the wind, climbing the mountain to put her on the summit until death, as the local tradition says that every septuagenarian must have an equal destiny. In the same village in the late 19th century, parents used to sell babies to survive. These material and spiritual miseries do not bring literals to the stage. Rather, they are essentials that make the show a fabulous visual poem written in and with the body and the scenic space. The song is also celebrated at the height, with moments such as Stravinski’s The Bird of Fire suite, and the song Fline on you crazy diamond, by the band Pink Floyd.

This piece shows the mental, physical and financial decay of what was once a wealthy family. The aristocratic grandfather, a cornerstone of the family, unconsciously drags his children along with him as he tries to keep up appearances.Set in a once opulent drawing room – now a symbolic glory hole – he slowly loses control of his house, his bladder and – ultimately – his mind. The househould he once led is now run by his offspring, who treat him as shabbily as they treat one another.
le Salon
Peeping Tom est une compagnie de danse-théâtre bruxelloise fondée en 2000 par Gabriela Carrizo et Franck Chartier. Leur travail recherche le comportement idiosyncratique dans les relations et expériences personnelles, ce qui fait du public un voyeur dans le monde réaliste mais onirique qu’ils créent.

Peeping Tom’s dance shoves certain motifs towards the very limits of acrobatics. Yet between bruised, nostalgic people, or people in love, the situations are deeply dramatic and expressed with feeling. This new piece develops the generic persona of the old father, his mythology, his prestige and his ridicule, his pitiable power deleted by gradual disintegration. It is an intensely human portrayal.
