Jeanne Brabants, who has just turned ninety, was throughout her life a prominent and passionate advocate of the professionalisation of dance in Flanders. Both the Municipal Institute of Ballet in Antwerp and the Royal Ballet of Flanders owe their existence to her. She was head of the Ballet of Flanders from 1969, when it was founded, until 1984
Fabián Barba is a young Ecuadorean dancer who lives in Brussels. During BOUGE B he will be presenting 'A Mary Wigman Dance Evening', in which he reconstructs solos from Mary Wigman's oeuvre.
How does a young dancer today see dance history? And how does someone who has championed dance all her life see the development of the discipline? A conversation on dance past and present. On reconstruction and renewal.
Admission is free, but we would like to be prepared for your attendance.
