Le Chant des ruines
18 Feb 2020 - 22 Feb 2020
“Being liquid seems to me to be a good metaphor for contemporary society.” That is how Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman describes the frenetic modern world. This ephemeral and volatile mode of existence which plunges one into a constant uncertainty. This lack of mooring with which to deal with ways of acting that are perpetually mutating, which stops human beings from being able to learn from their experiences.
Since her solo DEMAIN (20019 –press award for best dance production) Michèle Noiret’s work is subject to the world and its challenges. In this new piece, the choreographer raises questions about this race that is run, this flight forward by everyone, swept away by an enigmatic but dangerous hurricane.
Working with five performers of varied backgrounds, she reacts to the ambient, troubling and violent chaos which disorients the world without losing all hope. From this duality she creates a new impetus, a new scenic language which is deployed in a scenography created by Luc Noël.
Michèle Noiret’s fellow travelers Todor Todoroff, Vincent Pinckaers and Xavier Lauwers are along for the journey and with their mastery of sound, video and light they feed these stage images with ruptures and surprises illustrating the impermanence with which humanity is confronted.

Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles
111 Boulevard Emile Jacqmain 1000
Le récent et très épuré bâtiment du Théâtre National dispose de trois salles, certainement parmi les plus belles de Belgique, aux qualités techniques irréprochables. C’est un théâtre qui veut aller à la rencontre des artistes et du public tout comme des autres arts et des cultures d’ici et d’ailleurs. C’est un lieu où les idées se partagent et s’entrechoquent à foison. Orchestrée par Fabrice Murgia, la programmation allie théâtre et danse, pointures internationales et créations belges francophones tout en créant des ponts avec son homologue (et presque voisin) flamand, le KVS.
