BUITENKANT VOET - Thursday 17 February
Pianotrio Chevallier-van Dam-Lenski - Voetvolk
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.

Claire Chevallier will not be able to play on Thursday 17 February due to a violent robbery. Simon Lenski and Georges van Dam - in consultation with Claire - have decided to let the concert take place anyway with an adapted program:
-Largo from Shostakovich's Trio, without piano, as an ode to Claire
-Robert Schumann: Dichterliebe op. 48
program 17 February 2022
20:15 - George van Dam & Simon Lenski (Oude Zaal)
21:30 - Voetvolk: avant-première 'Into the Open' (Gouden Zaal)
Pianotrio Chevallier-van Dam-Lenski
The musicians of this trio come from very different musical fields (historically informed practice, contemporary music, rock and experimental performance) but are connected by their many collaborations within the theater and dance world (Rosas, Needcompany, Transparent, Voetvolk, Anima Eterna, Ictus, Daau).
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!
