LOD – Long Grass
Year of production: 2012

Atrocity and child-like innocence are recurring themes in the work of Inne Goris, who has been associated for a number of years with LOD, a leading production house for opera and music in Ghent. She has previously taken Greek tragedies, or the horror expressed in fairytales, to examine the ruthlessness of human nature. For this latest creation, Goris zooms in on present-day stories from child soldiers. Long Grass is a co-production of Noorderzon and many other international partners.

Tour:

11 april - CC Westrand Dilbeek

Gob Squad & CAMPO - Before Your Very Eyes
Year of production: 2011
(Co)-production partners: Noorderzon/Grand Theatre Groningen, Hebbel am Ufer, Berlin; Forum Freies Theater, Düsseldorf;  NEXT Festival, Eurometropole Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai+Valenciennes; Künsterlhaus Mousonturm, Frankfurt

A new performance by the exciting Britisch/German collective Gob Squad together with the Belgian CAMPO, played by children from Ghent. The public watches these children as they move within a safe space with four glass walls, like insects in a jar. From this space, they envisage their own future as adult, and look back on their short past for the first time. Whereas adults often stubbornly attempt to hang on to their youth, these kids dream of leaving their childhood behind them forever. This performance was a big success as the opening performance of Noorderzon 2011.

Tour:

30 april Theater Freiburg Freiburg DE
17 & 18 mei  La Filature Mulhouse FR
24 & 25 mei Festival Perspectives Saarbrücken DE

Claudio Stellato - L'Autre (Milan/Italy and Brussels/Belgium)
Year of production: 2010
Co-producing partners: Les Brigittines-Centre d'Art Contemporain du Mouvement et de la Voix de la ville de Bruxelles, Noorderzon/Grand Theatre Groningen, De Pianofabriek Kunstenwerkplaats, TAKT Dommelhof, le manege.mons/CECN, TechnocITé, l'échangeur - scène conventionnée de Fère-en-Tardenois

This performance marks the end of a long quest. Claudio Stellato, born in Italy and now living in Brussels, investigated the relationship between the body and the object. The result of this quest is the creation of his alter ego L’Autre (the other),an unusual character with a personal dance language. In 2010 Claudio visited Groningen to work on further developing L'Autre. He presented four performances during Noorderzon 2010 and afterward went to play on many European stages.  

Here you can have a look at the extensive tour schedule (2013/2014) of Claudio Stellato
