A Celebration of
Fluid Identities

As an international co-production, artists Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud and singer Nadia Larcher have developed Último helecho, a performance that is carried by music, singing and dance at once and where Baroque meets South American folklore and mythology.

Último helecho is the second cooperation between François Chaignaud and Nina Laisné following Romances inciertos, un autre Orlando, for which they invented a special, poetically artistic cosmos: Drag and dance, old Spanish songs and queer hero*ine narratives were interwoven into a celebration of fluid identities and forms of expression.

While François Chaignaud also sings on stage, Nadia Larcher, who is a celebrated singer in South America, will try out the folklore dances of her native lands together with him on stage for the first time. The multifaceted repertoire of traditional music and dances from Argentina – ranging from chacareras via the majestic zambas to the huaynos – will serve as the underpinnings of the performance. The duo will be accompanied live on stage by six musicians whose artistic roots lie partly in Baroque and partly in folklore.

A Revelation

Shiraz is a choreography for six dancers, weaving together a fabric of movements and gestures. Their insistent energy, moments of convergence and passage through ephemeral constellations are what takes center stage in this performance. A pulsating dance imbued with a sense of enchantment and longing, coiling and uncoiling to the pulsating beat of a capturing music.

The starting point for this piece is the Shiraz Arts Festival. A festival for live arts that took place between 1967 and 1977 in south of Iran and radically rethought the relationship to the audience and modalities of framing art works. Armin Hokmi, together with the team, places it into our present day in the form of a revival, by giving it a new appearance through a dance performance. Shiraz is both a homage and a fictional setting. It seeks to reimagine the ambitions of the festival and its love for the live arts, their autonomy as art forms and their common roots across geographical borders.

Shiraz is created out of a devotion to a notion of dance and choreography that emphasizes their power to ignite joy, bring about experiences of delving into sensuous worlds, and their ability to transform perception and our modes of affective engagement with live performance.

A Different Image of Palestine

Badke(remix) is a remake of the dance performance created by Koen Augustijnen, Rosalba Torres and Hildegard De Vuyst. With 10 Palestinian dancers, Badke toured worldwide between 2013 and 2016. The reissue of Badke is now artistically in Palestinian hands, namely Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab, and becomes Badke(remix).

The title is a conscious reversal of dabke, the name of the Palestinian folk dance and the starting point of the performance. With backgrounds in traditional dabke, contemporary dance, hip-hop, capoeira or circus, the Palestinian performers bring a contemporary version of this dance traditionally reserved for (wedding) parties. Badke(remix) displays a zest for life and passion for dancing as a form of resistance.

Elegy for Raimund Hoghe

As a true danced elegy, this piece questions lineage in the choreographic field through the prism of over fifteen years of collaboration with the German choreographer Raimund Hoghe, who passed away in 2021. Aiming to shine a light on how this generation of creators continues to influence us, Emmanuel Eggermont revisits fragments of pieces woven from moments suspended in time, in which love and death act in the background, articulating them with other personal materials in order to imagine new writings.

In About Love and Death, it is both the iconographic and musical palette of Raimund Hoghe and the living kinesthesia of the imagination of Emmanuel Eggermont that are expressed. From fantasy of a fantasized fauna to the comical elegance of a Gene Kelly dancing in the rain by way of the syncopated energy of a Josephine Baker, this danced medley is accompanied by new sequences that multiply evocations, leading up to the incarnation of the ghost of Raimund Hoghe himself.

The ramified writing of this elegy-toned collection reveals an entire panel of references offering to all audiences, particularly those experiencing it for the first time, a path to access this unique and necessary universe in the panorama of the history of dance.

Two Figures Engaged in the Ritual Act of Sweeping

Interweaving ritual, pageantry, performance and possession, Magic Maids presents an encounter with two figures engaged in the ritual act of sweeping. The broom, a domestic tool for cleaning and the vehicle of the witch, becomes a symbol of both oppression and resistance. It is an extension of the body and a portal for metamorphosis. The art workers and their brooms exist in a continuous state of becoming.

Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera are from the Philippines and Sri Lanka respectively, two countries known for their significant export of domestic workers. Their collaboration began in 2022 when they noticed the absence of women at Basel Museum of Pharmaceutical History in Switzerland. This observation sparked their investigation of the historical persecution of witches; in Europe and its implications for the exploitation of female labour in colonised regions. They discovered that the accusation of witchcraft continues to be a tool for persecuting migrant workers from the Global South.

Magic Maids is a bodily response to their grappling with these complex entanglements. They call upon practices of incantation and intention, using their bodies to traverse multiple territories: physical, conceptual, transnational, emotional, and gendered. The labour in performance enables an embodied inquiry into questions of representation, political subjecthood and histories of oppression. Having individually presented solo work across international festivals and platforms that follows this line of inquiry, Jocson and Perera come together for the first time to sweep out and unsettle oppressive power structures. Rewilding the domestic, they aim to release, reclaim, rejoice, and reconnect with the primal energies.

Magic Maids is an invitation to witness and reflect on the visibility of the working body, the power of female solidarity, and the enduring impact of historical injustices on modern labour practices.
