Tussen vuile borden, lege flessen en kapotgeschoten glazen ontvouwt zich een wereld van cowboys, outlaws, helden en antihelden. Iemand wordt de kop ingeslagen, zomaar. Christus' kruis wordt in flarden geschoten en met de brokstukken ontstaat er een tweegevecht. Vertrekkend uit een proloog vol geweld en clichés bevraagt Spaghetti Western de hypocrisie van het nieuw imperialistisch westers beleid. Een satirische en episch-historische deconstructie van onze (zogenaamd) naoorlogse geschiedenis. https://michielsoete.net/AFK Sun, 21 Jun 2026 10:58:20 +0000 michielsoete https://michielsoete.net/AFK AFK <img width="1746" height="1310" width_o="1746" height_o="1310" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/635a7702b75b10591cd8ae3525483537c307f1b3afedd67d5c40e0dc4abe44ee/afk.png" data-mid="249673192" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/635a7702b75b10591cd8ae3525483537c307f1b3afedd67d5c40e0dc4abe44ee/afk.png" /> light design + technician2026 AFK is a circus performance, a glitched world where (non)humans play with norms and your senses. Sofie Anny Nicea Velghe and Camille Paycha invite you to experience the interplay of exposure and haunting- transformation through a choreography of visual trickery AFK (Away From Keyboard). The performers embrace their multiple selves, welcoming the ghosts hovering around, to refuse essentialism and hold space. For the making of this piece, Sofie and Camille are inspired, on the one hand, by Indigenous Brazilian philosopher Ailton Krenak, more specifically his book Ideas to postpone the end of the world. Krenak argues that our world is ending not only through environmental collapse but also through a loss of imagination and collective care. On the other hand, the makers are inspired by Cyberfemnism, a self-reflexive term where technology is not only the subject but its means of transmission. It is all about feedback. Sofie and Camille are thus making a bridge to beter explore the political power of what could seem contradictory sources of knowledge, to give space to a different virtuosity. concept, regie Sofie Anny Nicea Velghe &amp; Camille Paycha with &amp; by&nbsp;Majo Cazares, Alice Davies, Maya Mertens, Oriana Mangala Ikomo Wanga, Sofie Anny Nicea Velghe, Camille Paycha&nbsp; live music Oriana Mangala Ikomo Wanga&nbsp; technical creation Michiel Soete, Vivi Focquet&nbsp; distribution&nbsp;Pascaline Van den Hooff produced byBoegbeeld vzw coproduction De Grote Post – Oostende; Miramiro – Gent; Circuswerkplaats Dommelhof; PERPLX – Kortrijk project supported by the Flemish government typography titel by Thaïs Cuny from BBB more info: boegbeeld.be https://michielsoete.net/iedereen-meeuw-2 Sun, 21 Jun 2026 10:49:37 +0000 michielsoete https://michielsoete.net/iedereen-meeuw-2 IEDEREEN MEEUW (2) <img width="1936" height="1290" width_o="1936" height_o="1290" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5cd615b1ac67dc56e889527b48c9bee57fe99adb1a4ec3ad02d0e42a558af556/iedereen-meeuw-2.png" data-mid="249673182" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5cd615b1ac67dc56e889527b48c9bee57fe99adb1a4ec3ad02d0e42a558af556/iedereen-meeuw-2.png" /> regie2026 premiere in 2027 Een opera die schreeuwt om protest! Waar vrijheid vleugels krijgt,satire snavels,de meeuw preekt,en de mens wordt gefileerd... In 2024 toonde kleinVerhaal voor het eerst een stukje van deze opera ván en vóór het volk.Tien sociaal-artistieke huizen, verspreid over Brussel en Vlaanderen, mobiliseerden hun achterban.De groep groeide uit tot ruim 100 spelers, schrijvers, muzikanten, ontwerpers en koks. Na het eerste toonmoment op TAZ#25, komt Iedereen Meeuw! met een tweede worp naar TAZ#26. De echte première is voor 2027!Een bende verdwaalde zielen valt uit de lucht. In welk nest zijn ze nu beland en wie zijn die vreemde vogels die daar aan tafel op hen wachten? Aan het hoofd een zelfverklaarde aanvoerster en haar rechterhand, ze ruiken naar gevaar! In een wereld vol rattenstront en koude soep borrelt al snel protest op: “De organisatie moet overboord, de toekomst is van ons!” Boven de hoofden hangt echter nog iets groots te wachten, met veren en een rotkarakter…CREDITSLibretto: Fikry El AzzouziCompositie: Peter VermeerschRegie: Michiel SoeteMuziekcoaches: Bart Maris &amp; Yamen MartiniSpelcoach: Camille PaychaKostuum: Maartje van BourgognieScenografie: Giovanni VanhoenackerGrafisch atelier: Geert OpsomerVideo: Bárbara JarqueGeluid: Sam SerruysOrkest en stemmen: Jan Oelbrandt, Olga Groppo, Aldo De La Rosa, Jeroen Van Renterghem, Franky Barbaix, Clea Parcerisas, Johan Lingier, Donatella Sala, Annelies Bos, Zurab Sujashvili, Ageeba Kromah, Tom Dewulf, Antoon Kindekens, Tove Verstrepen, Jan Machielsen, Micha Celis en Cinzia Heather VillanuevaSpelers: Marijke Dejaeghere, Marino Coolsaet, Jules Rethy, Ahmad Bouchi, Raf Berth, Tine Bevers, Saskia Jacobs, Martine Van Rensbergen, Hanifi Özcan, Inge Goovaerts, ...Koor: Stadskoor K o.l.v.

A layer of concrete prevents oil, chemicals, and heavy metals from infiltrating the daily lives of the local residents. The municipality of Molenbeek is planning to make a park there: everything that’s being built inside Decoratelier today will disappear under a thick layer of healthy soil. Are the history and invisible stories of this place also in danger of disappearing? Together with the caretaker, Cassonade’s chefs, local residents and visitors, the builders at Decoratelier set about the work like true archaeologists. As “latecomers”, they’re constructing a space in which to reflect on historical pollution and collective responsibility. They are unravelling the past and speculating about future ecosystems, lifeforms, and ways of living. Through structures and stories, they seek a way to share their concerns and desires with future generations. Can a society be built on top of its own mistakes? The Latecomers is a site-specific performance in which a community searches for the meaning of a place, inviting the audience to explore this strange landscape of stories.

voorstelling waarin VRT-journaliste Veerle De Vos en Sarah Yu Zeebroek samen op zoek gaan naar de diepere verbinding tussen China en het Westen. Ze nemen je mee op een tijdreis naar de 17de eeuw, waarin Ferdinand Verbiest, een Vlaamse wetenschapper en jezuïet, dankzij zijn uitzonderlijke kennis toegang kreeg tot de inner circle van de Chinese keizer. Maar zijn pad was vol obstakels: hofintriges en spanningen met Rome zetten zijn missie voortdurend onder druk. “Alles onder de hemel” brengt het meeslepende, maar grotendeels vergeten verhaal van de eerste echte ontmoeting tussen China en het Westen weer tot leven. Wat waren de gevolgen van deze historische confrontatie? Welke rol speelden vrouwen in deze ‘mannenwereld’? En hoe relevant zijn Verbiests ervaringen in een tijd waarin China opnieuw een machtige wereldspeler is? Laat je meeslepen door dit bijzondere verhaal en ontdek hoe verleden en heden elkaar kruisen. In deze voorstelling verweeft Sarah Yu Zeebroek haar muzikale en grafische talent met het historische verhaal van Veerle de Vos. Samen doorprikken ze de clichés waarmee we in het Westen vaak naar China kijken. Met muziek, geschiedenis en cultuur als leidraad, laat deze boeiende voorstelling zien hoe we China, toen en nu, beter kunnen begrijpen. foto’s Ivan Put <img width="1028" height="796" width_o="1028" height_o="796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/198a4d358cb40c7cb1e3ebc0eeff5404070c53ade87b13e0f6ee3b425bd3adad/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.10.36.png" data-mid="249232527" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/198a4d358cb40c7cb1e3ebc0eeff5404070c53ade87b13e0f6ee3b425bd3adad/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.10.36.png" /> <img width="1876" height="1290" width_o="1876" height_o="1290" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36ce0f764f013e185f796d41af7f656c77c0c83ce4b1c52f65b3034643182ee0/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.03.02.png" data-mid="249232513" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36ce0f764f013e185f796d41af7f656c77c0c83ce4b1c52f65b3034643182ee0/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.03.02.png" /> <img width="1928" height="1292" width_o="1928" height_o="1292" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ce93229068af5a95bd7417896a2e9866b23c0c2ccfdf7e15c23645e1ba961ef/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.04.36.png" data-mid="249232514" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ce93229068af5a95bd7417896a2e9866b23c0c2ccfdf7e15c23645e1ba961ef/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-11.04.36.png" /> https://michielsoete.net/holy Mon, 08 Jun 2026 08:57:14 +0000 michielsoete https://michielsoete.net/holy HOLY <img width="1464" height="868" width_o="1464" height_o="868" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b3c3b15eab135a940c7abbc7246b7024c6ac6db42890e2308cfda8b521305032/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-10.55.44.png" data-mid="249232424" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b3c3b15eab135a940c7abbc7246b7024c6ac6db42890e2308cfda8b521305032/Screen-Shot-2026-06-08-at-10.55.44.png" /> technician, stage2026 A sensory journey into the sacred, full of ritual, reflection and freedom At the crossroads of theatrical and musical practices, Martha Canga Antonio researches HOLY, a sensory experience that explores the sacred as a state of being in constant reinvention. Moving through different spaces collectively, performers and audiences alike explore different ways of being together. Neither fully a concert nor entirely a performance, HOLY creates a space that is at the same time personal and collective - where audiences shed frameworks, certainties, and images of self to allow inner lights &amp; echos to emerge.

You could see it as an orchestrated version of life: a collage of various pre-scripted but unrehearsed actions that unfold before the audience’s eyes. Interestingly, this strict structure of simple actions creates space for spontaneity and the unexpected. Using art to structure life into more or less predictable actions—and in doing so, finding ways to embrace the unexpected—is precisely what appeals to Side-Show about this art form. We see happenings as a way to structure our environment so we can come together with a diverse audience, creating a meaningful shared experience. In Today, everything begins with context. The very first happening took place when Allan Kaprow organized a picnic on a friend’s farm in 1957. We draw inspiration from that familiar context of a picnic. The audience gathers on a giant picnic blanket, chatting, and perhaps there’s even something to eat. Someone plays the piano continuously. Scattered across the picnic blanket, two circus artists perform a series of actions based on their own practices. How can we make a happening relaxed? The form itself already offers important tools: the scores on which they are based provide an important foothold to the public and were also passed on to the public in advance in the sixties. The openness to surprise also ensures that the audience does not have to be quiet and motionless. Just like the happenings of the past, we leave the codes of the arts behind for a moment in an attempt to make togetherness and spontaneity possible for everyone. In a way, Today goes&nbsp; a step further than Permit. This time, the boundaries between the actions of the performers and those of the audience are more porous. Life and theatre merge in the form of a picnic.
