Zo\u00eb Demoustier \/ Opera Ballet Vlaanderen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, a wave of radical dance innovators emerged from the triangular relationship between Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Wim Vandekeybus, Marc Vanrunxt, Alain Platel, Jan Fabre and many others gradually made their way into Belgian theatres with their unconventional performances. In no time at all, they also swept across the Netherlands, Europe and the rest of the world. That \u2018Flemish Wave\u2019 has profoundly influenced the way we watch and dance, as is now apparent, some forty years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In A Wave<\/em><\/strong>, choreographer Zo\u00eb Demoustier takes stock. With some fifteen dancers \u2013 from Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, joined by young people, a dancer from Platform K and iconic dancers who created the pieces of yesteryear \u2013 she deconstructs monumental scenes from the 1980s and 1990s with an eye to the future. Together, they explore what should be passed on and what could do with an update. But above all: how references can be a source of joy in dance, rather than a straitjacket, and, who knows, a new wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18748,"parent":0,"template":"","production_location":[35],"production_type":[44],"class_list":["post-18754","production","type-production","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","production_location-venue","production_type-dance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA Wave - Frans Brood Productions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fransbrood.com\/en\/productions\/a-wave\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Wave - Frans Brood Productions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Zo\u00eb Demoustier \/ Opera Ballet Vlaanderen In the 1980s, a wave of radical dance innovators emerged from the triangular relationship between Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp.
