Chantal Yzermans
Belgian artist, choreographer, and performer born in Ostend, Belgium, with a career spanning over two decades, Chantal Yzermans has made substantial contributions to the realms of contemporary dance, visual arts, and performance.
As the founder of RADICAL LOW, an ensemble that continually evolves through dynamic collaborations with visual artists, multimedia artists, musicians, and scientists, she explores the intricate relationship with iconic works of art, challenging our interpretations and questioning the representations presented to us.
After a nomadic journey dedicated to her passion and career as a choreographer and performer in cities such as New York City, Madrid, and Paris, Yzermans found her artistic haven in the medieval village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in the Lot region of France, where she has been based since 2020.
Taking a break from personal artistic endeavors, she shifted her focus to spearheading RADICALE1924—a four-year artistic residency project in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. This initiative underscores her dedication to nurturing artistic exploration and collaboration, signifying a new phase in her journey as she reexamines the role and significance of culture amidst an uncertain future.
