CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE ART & THE CENTENARY OF THE FUTURISM MOVEMENTKaaitheater presents the first edition of a new biennial performance festival, with work founded on exchange and collaboration between disciplines. The common element is always the live event, the encounter between you and the performer in the here and now. Call it what you like: performance art, live art, body art. It’s a recurring element in 20th-century art and its revival usually signals renewal, or the emergence of an avant-garde.
Kaaitheater initiated this festival, but so as not to limit it to the dance and theatre angle, we are collaborating with a lot of Brussels partners who each contribute their own specific expertise.
During this festival we shall also be celebrating the centenary of the Italian Futurism movement. Reviled by many for its adherence to the wrong side in politics, this movement was in many ways the starting signal for a whole series of twentieth-century avant-garde movements.
