The Courage to be Disliked (première)

Every week, a very rich woman descends the marble steps of her penthouse, straight into the bubbling underbelly of the city. There she observes, fillets and memorises in detail what she sees, no matter how repulsive. After each trip, she shares her musings: she may be rich, but she is also generous. 

For the first time at Cie de KOE, Natali Broods performs alone on stage. With this documentary about making a play, the KOE pulls out all the digital stops. Don't expect your average live stream, but prepare for a brand new genre: the scripted reality one woman live stream making of show. With a camera as an extra character and the city of Mechelen as an extra, Cie de KOE stands with one leg on your doorstep and with the other on the stage.

The result is a dynamic, multimedia performance in which the KOE, in its typically headstrong way, challenges the elasticity of concepts such as distance and presence. Good to know: as with a classical performance, the number of seats for the live stream is limited. So order your tickets in time.
