A Shadow Can See - Gavin-VianoAcoustic Encounters - Sounding Bodies

Huis73/Pleitzaal | € 18 vriend € 16,50 | 14.00h, 16.00h, 19.00h en 21.00h

“When you enter the room, you take a seat in a circle around instruments and other objects. You start feeling and connecting with your body. From the moment you put on your blindfold, the only thing you can do is to surrender to your senses. You literally feel and listen with your body. A very special experience.” - audience member.

We are more connected than ever, we have more choices than ever, we are more liberated than ever. At the same time, loneliness is a social problem, we live increasingly individual lives and our choices are increasingly manipulated by ever-smarter algorithms. The ability to truly connect with another person is increasingly constrained.

Acoustic Encounters is an intimate performance in which you experience what effect sound, music and touch has on you. Sound is direct, just like feeling. What happens when we connect hearing and feeling? How does it feel to be touched by sound, when there is nothing left between you and the sound? Listening with all your body.

Beyond the Edge - Piet Van Dycke/fABULEUS, HET LAB & 6 Limburgse Cultuurcentra

Verkadefabriek/Grote zaal | € 19,50, vriend € 18 | 16.00h

Some words audience members gave to the performance: “I am very happy I visited this performance”, “out of this world”, “impressive”, “amazing those skills, flexibility and timing”, “the music is the finishing touch”, “the simplicity of the set, the stage and props”, “beautiful mix of dans acrobatics”.

In Beyond the Edge, circus and dance maker Piet van Dycke is working with eight young performers aged 13 to 24 for the first time. Together, they explore limits and test how far they can stretch. Physical dependence has never been more nerve-racking.

In 2022, Boulevard audiences sat on the edge of their seats during the performance EXIT in the Populierencirkel. Beyond the Edge is just as exciting.

"The dancers initiate us into a secret language with their movements; with their leaps and somersaults and have unmistakably become the powerful air god." - De Volkskrant

"You see the journey Dietrich Pott has taken and the dance styles he has picked up along the way. They all melt together in Kromanti and you become totally immersed in the story yourself." - audience member

Dietrich Pott traveled to Suriname and Africa and spent two months researching traditional African dance styles. Inspired by the experiences during this trip, Pott developed a new style of dance: Afro-Breakdance. The Afro Surinamese secret ritual language Kromanti, which Pott learned in Suriname, aroused his interest. He translated this religion and the atmosphere of the villages into colorful scenes in the mysterious performance Kromanti.

Every party comes to an end. But not before we have closed the Boulevard together.
