– Jury report le Grand Prix de la danse de Montr\u00e9al 2025 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peeping Tom is a Belgian dance theatre company, founded by Gabriela Carrizo (I\/AR) and Franck Chartier (F)<\/strong>. With Eurudike De Beul, who would become a frequent collaborator at the company, they created a first location project that took place in a trailer home, Caravana <\/em>(1999).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in Peeping Tom’s work starts from a hyperrealist setting<\/strong>. The space feels familiar, such as a garden, a living room and a basement in the first trilogy (Le Jardin<\/em>, 2002; Le Salon<\/em>, 2004; Le Sous Sol<\/em>, 2007), two trailer homes in a snow-covered landscape in 32 rue Vandenbranden<\/em> (2009), a retirement home in Vader<\/em> (2014) or a cruise ship in DIPTYCH\/TRIPTYCH<\/em> (2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creators then break open this realism. They create an unstable universe that defies the logic of time, space and mood. You become the witness – or rather, the voyeur? – of what usually remains hidden and unsaid. Isolation leads to an unconscious world of nightmares, fears and desires, which the creators deftly use to shed light on the dark side of a character or a community. The huis clos of family situations remains for Peeping Tom a major source of creativity. Presented using a rich imagery, a fascinating battle arises against one’s environment and against oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peeping Tom receives structural subsidies from the Flemish government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its foundation in 2000 in Brussels, Peeping Tom has presented its creations around the world. The company has received several important awards<\/strong>, including the Olivier Award in the United Kingdom for 32 rue Vandenbranden<\/em> and La Ruta<\/em>, a Patrons Circle Award at the International Arts Festival in Melbourne, le Grand Prix de la danse de Montr\u00e9al 2025 for TRITPYCH<\/em> as well as several selections for the Belgian and Dutch Theatre Festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
