Iedereen heeft een poep - Machteld Vossen

A golden envelope addressed to the king is found by the trainee gatekeeper. On the doormat, by the palace drawbridge. No one knows what’s inside, no one knows where it came from, and the king isn’t at home.

Iedereen heeft een poep ('Everyone Has a bum') is a family show for children aged 9 and over.

Text, Concept and Direction: Machteld Vossen

Cast: Luka Boogaerts, Phara De Jaeger, Lander Van Assche & Anissa Zahi

A bachelor’s production by Luca School of Arts, Leuven

A Futile Act of Domestication - Bert Berg

‘The Futile Act of Domestication’ is a choreographed circus performance that uses an expressive handstand language to give shape to the ambiguous feelings of wanting – and not wanting – to fit into a box, a home or a norm.

Inspired by Red Zebra’s ‘I Can’t Live in a Living Room’ and ‘Dogville’, a choreographic interplay emerges from the lines of masking tape and our collective imagination, in which a person attempts to domesticate themselves.

Je Suis M'Appelle

Je Suis m'Appelle is a five man strong, Leuven based band. Their style can be described as a mix of Bluesrock, Funk, Folk, Punk and Soul and more. Highly influenced by the greats such as Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Manu Chao and more they grew towards making music that is a mix of different genres but still inherent to their own style.
