VOETVOLK / LISBETH GRUWEZ & MAARTEN VAN CAUWENBERGHE

Ten powerful women dancers turn the chaos they create into their own order, an explosive choreography that results in a magnetic and captivating work.

The Belgian company Voetvolk was founded in 2007 by the dancer and choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and the musician and composer Maarten van Cauwenberghe. The two artistes had met in Jan Fabre’s lab and together created 11 shows. Their work is a constant dialogue between body and aural movement.
