Women Speak, inspired by Mahasati

Women Speak, inspired by Mahasati is an Indian dance and music performance that celebrates female empowerment through dynamic Kathak choreography and live music. An all-female ensemble brings the story of Mahasati to life by shifting between intimate solos and sweeping group sections, where rhythm, emotion and storytelling merge. Created by Kathak exponent Shila Mehta and Belgo-Spanish choreographer Maya Sapera, in dialogue with contemporary dramaturges Lisi Estaras and Koen Augustijnen, the work bridges Indian classical tradition with contemporary perspectives to reveal a universal language of strength, imagination and womanhood.

Double Bill: n0qté & Tattva

n0qté

Noqté combines dance, live music and visual projections in a way you have never seen before. A poetic performance in which the light spectacle proves to be a unique discovery. By slowing down the optical signal, the projection becomes a visual language in which the color spectrum is broken into red, green and blue. This makes us think about the laws of evolution and natural growth, and we reflect on the beauty of life and death.
The live music on stage combined with this visual spectacle gives an extra dimension to the dance, so that the spectator is moved by an embracing poetic power and gets a glimpse of the mystery of universal laws of nature.

Tattva

In Tattva, dancer Amber Bosteels and musician Arnaud Soetens explore the meeting between Eastern and Western ways of thinking and being. Amber weaves classical Indian and contemporary dance into an intuitive movement language inspired by Shiva as Nataraja, while Arnaud creates live compositions with loop pedals, multiple instruments, and environmental sounds that let the space itself speak. Together they play with stories, stillness, and chaos, inviting the audience to slow down and listen in an intimate circle of shared presence.

Indigo Passage

Indigo Passage is a multidisciplinary project created by Shanti De Bruyne where fashion, dance and storytelling merge to celebrate intercultural connection. Rooted in her Belgian-Congolese heritage and inspired by Indian dance traditions, Shanti creates garments that move as extensions of identity and expression. A capsule collection is presented through live performance and video, inviting audiences into a poetic space where textiles, body, rhythm and culture meet. This project marks the first public step in shaping a creative universe built on unity through diversity, shared movement and meaningful encounter.
