Mab Cardoso
Now***For Real

The body as a sound device, sound as a movement generator: as a choreographer, performer and composer Mab Cardoso interweaves performance art, electronic music beats, classical ballet and movement.

Cécile Bally
The Sleep of Reason

Bally’s post-dramatic magic show opens the coffin of a modern vampire and examines the preconceptions and clichés of this figure. Can the stage maintain its magical potential when all tricks have been laid out in the open?
