On 2 and 3 May, the very first performance by Klaas Vanderperren will premiere at Stadsschouwburg 30CC Leuven. Six performers will take the stage to present A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF RANDOM DECISIONS.
Tickets available from Wednesday 19 March at 30cc.be.
The very first performance by artist Klaas Vanderperren, in collaboration with Jennifer Regidor of Danscompagnie Lune.
Hyperfocus is not a concept one would readily associate with someone like Tina Turner. Yet it is precisely what she describes when talking about her performances and the final minutes before stepping onto the stage. In those last few minutes, she becomes a character: the character of Tina Turner. She becomes someone else. She describes it as a kind of hypnosis. After the show, she steps off the stage and becomes Anna Mae Bullock once again.
Inspired by his admiration for Tina Turner as an artist, Klaas Vanderperren chose to explore this very idea: the feeling and state of hyperfocus experienced by every performer when confronted with an audience.
The creative process of the six performers has resulted in A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF RANDOM DECISIONS.
A visual performance built around seemingly random decisions, yet executed in a state of hyperfocus.
A performance of chaos, colour, order and black and white.
A performance in which choices may appear completely random, yet are never made without thought.
A performance of silence and improvisation, precise choreography and overwhelming music.
It’s not a story, it’s just WILD, and stylish, of course, duh!
Oh, and it’s something with a bathtub.
