Apparitions

Diederik Peeters

Looking for the ultimate proof that ghosts exist, Diederik Peeters spent two years delving into the dark tunnels that connect science with magic, and technology with horror. He regularly resurfaced to share his findings in diverse formats, ranging from dance pieces and installations to radio plays. The performance Apparitions is the last in this series of creations. He adopts the role of an illusionist, but quickly gets lost in his own illusions. With optical tricks from the 19thcentury, he breathes life into his own shadow and conjures the ghosts of the future. In a kind of visual delirium, echoes of Méliès or Houdini clash with the 22nd century. Are the dead alive here, and does the future simply occur in the present?

“Un performeur délirant qui ‘chasse les fantômes’”
- Télérama

The work of theatre maker Diederik Peeters always looks for ways to sabotage the notion of an unchanging reality. You can often find him in the work of other artists, disguised as a performer, actor or advisor. With Hans Bryssinck and Kaaitheater artist-in-residence Kate McIntosh he founded SPIN, an artist-run research and support platform in Brussels.
