THIRTY THREE DEGREES

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

Guns/Roses

Guns/Roses is the seventh work by Chantal Yzermans. Conceived as an analogy between sport and art, the piece draws its primary material from the bodily vocabulary of the high jump. Spanish dancer Tania Arias and violinist Hans Van Kerkhoven translate movement, air, and physical transcendence into the language of dance. As in all of Yzermans’ works, the performance materializes a choreographic landscape that is closer to vision than to conventional narrative.

Guns/Roses premiered at the Escena Contemporánea Festival in 2011. The work forms part of Yzermans’ ongoing investigation into the limits of contemporary dance. photo Ronald Stoops
