THIRTY THREE DEGREES
33 Degrees is an interdisciplinary performance and visual work by Belgian choreographer and artist Chantal Yzermans(Radical Low). The piece explores themes of power imbalance, passivity, gluttony, human sacrifice, and the representation of the nude in 20th-century art. 33 Degrees was first presented in 2017 as part of the Oostende Triennial – The Raft. Art is (not) lonely, curated by Jan Fabre, alongside internationally acclaimed and emerging artists.
PARTNER / YOU
Partner/You is a contemporary performance by Belgian choreographer Chantal Yzermans (Radical Low) that explores chance, ritual, and mediated intimacy. During the performance, the performers connect live to a random direct-messaging platform, engaging anonymously with online partners whose presence shapes the rhythm and structure of the piece.
A triangular relationship emerges between performers, audience, and unseen digital participants, transforming online interaction into a contemporary rite. Through this process-based performance, Yzermans revisits Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, drawing parallels between pagan ritual and today’s networked forms of chance, sacrifice, and collective experience. photo Laetitia Bica
