KunstenFESTIVALdesArts, May 8 – 30
With a program made up of games and visual artworks, Brussels' KunstenFESTIVALdesArts is dedicated to new viewpoints on both art and the world. It is especially welcoming of experiments and new works, some of which are born right there at the festival.
KunstenFESTIVALdesArts positions itself as an open, cosmopolitan festival that, over its three-week run, literally takes over dozens of theaters and art spaces. Although the festival promotes the knocking down of language- and cultural barriers, it does have a very firm focus on stagings presented in the Flemish and French languages, as well as on Western European art. KunstenFESTIVALdesArts is for viewers who favor challenges – art forms that challenge the intellect, the viewing experience, and one's perception.
This year's program includes several classics of avant-garde theater that have held their own for 20 and 30 years already. One that deserves special mention is the mystifying visionary cosmos of the Italian metaphysical theater adept, Romeo Casatellucci; he and his group, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, will be performing “Uso umano di esseri umani”, a derivation of the Biblical story about the resurrection of Lazarus.
Another production that promises to be interesting is by the New York avant-garde team The Wooster Group. They are taking the Trojan War games to Brussels – along with all of their technological tools – in their version of William Shakespeare's “Troilus and Cressida”. Take note that a lot of new and as-yet-unknown theater companies and directors will be participating in KunstenFESTIVALdesArts, so be prepared to make some new discoveries. www.kfda.be
