Since 2007, the dancer and choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and musician and composer Maarten Van Cauwenberghe have been working to create a rock-solid oeuvre under the name Voetvolk. All through those years, nona arts centre has been a loyal companion. Likewise, partners from the dance scene have also often been involved in the eleven productions that the dance and performance company has now created. Last year this resulted in the first (online) three-day dance festival: BUITENKANT VOET.
This year we are going for the real live experience and we invited once again several international 'sidekicks' with whom Lisbeth Gruwez & Maarten Van Cauwenberghe have already worked in the past.

LA RÊVEUSE
Jennifer Dubreuil Houthemann is from Brest and started dancing at the age of five. In 2018 she danced in The Sea Within by VOETVOLK, directed by Lisbeth Gruwez. Together with choreographer Guiomar Campos, she started the CAD Platforme for which she has already made five performances since then: ZOE, Le petit Jardin, ANTES, See how we sleep and La Rêveuse.
INTO THE OPEN
Dance meets concert, that’s Into the Open’s pledge.
Seven performers embody the groove and share the energy of the music. They spur each other on with pimped krautrock from 2022, or Can’s repetitive theme crossed with The Chemical Brothers’ high voltage.
Voetvolk welcomes you for a wild, collective leap into limbo. Let’s trance!
