!! RAFALES IN LOOKIN'OUT !!
Novembre 26 at 10am // Théâtre 140 (Brussels) // Work in Progress 30 minutes
- professional platform for theatre, performance, dance, puppetry -
12 artists and companies will present their work in progress - Full program here!

Thrown on a road full of obstacles, a group moves inexorably, united in the face of the threat of imminent danger. In the tumult of flight and the uncertainty of the paths to be taken, they form only one united body, involving the gestures and mechanisms of mutual aid, where perhaps their utopia and their emancipation reside. Between realism and onirism, RAFALES plunges us into a choreographic, pictorial and sound narrative, mixing precise physical scores and strong theatrical presences.

Necessary inscription here!

The LookIN'OUT is an initiative of residency space BAMP, the artists support organisation AD LIB, and Theatre 140.

RAFALES
- Work in progress for professionals only -
11 & 12 May at 8pm // Les Brigittines (Salle Mezzo) // about 30 minutes

Navigating between realism and dreamlike aesthetics, Rafales dives deep into the stories of beings pushed to the borders of human relations, shedding light on the salutary mechanics of mutual aid and solidarity, under the prism of the migration crisis.Two women and three men trapped in coercive spatial situations, explore certain forms of relations present in the living world (coexistence, symbiosis, predation, competition), depending on whether cooperation or struggle dominates, thus seeking their ultimate salvation.
