For the first time, Claire Croizé creates a performance together with children (aged 9-13). The Round is a remake of Primitive and can be presented indoors and outdoors in a circular stand, created by Jozef Wouters. The performance emphasizes the vitality and pure energy of bodies in motion, closely connected with each other and their environment. It calls for a return to the source – the breath and the rhythm of the bodies – and it plays on the ambivalence of an energy that is both positive and potentially destructive.

ECCE/Claire Croizé & Étienne Guilloteau (FR/BE)

ECCE is the dance company of Claire Croizé and Etienne Guilloteau. They began working closely together in 2004 from their base in Brussels. They both create their own work and are often involved in each other’s work as dancers or dramaturgs, but they have also collaborated on a whole series of creations. In just over 20 years, they have created 30 performances, 13 of which feature live music on stage by B’Rock, Oxalys, MP4, Zwerm, Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg, OENM, ICTUS, Pluto Ensemble, Goeyvaerts String Trio, Alain Franco, Matteo Fargion and Aisha Orazbayeva, among others.
