KVS 24/7: a new virtual KVS stage

We live in strange times. Freedoms we considered the norm are being reined in. None of us can simply go wherever we want, our lives are measured in 1.5-metre increments and neat queues. At KVS, this makes us more eager than ever to spread our performances and artistic creations far and wide. That’s why, beside KVS BOL, KVS BOX and our new outdoor stage, we are also introducing a fourth podium. This virtual stage wants to add to our freedoms. Visitors can follow new creations live from wherever they like, or rewatch them later. KVS 24/7 is an on-demand home for our performances, for free! 

On KVS 24/7 visitors are not only confronted with a single performance, but with the entire creative universe around it. The platform will allow visitors to dig deeper and take in context and background information. You’ll be able to take a look behind the scenes, listen to interviews with creators, read relevant literature, watch urgent debates, …

This timeless universe brings creators and visitors closer together. We will also be organising talks with artists, dramaturges, authors, … and visitors will be able to use the chat function to interact with each other about the performances.

OUR MISSION

KVS is Brussels’ Flemish city theatre. Our unique position in the capital of Flanders, Belgium and Europe is the alpha and omega of our operations. KVS aims to reinterpret the repertoire in relation to the city that is more than ever the whole world. KVS embraces the city and its plurality and intends to amplify its artistic voice in the arts field. KVS thus sees interculturality on and around the stage not as an assignment or a challenge, but as a logical principle. As is a strong presence in Flanders and internationally.

KVS has an open ensemble of theatre-makers, performers, directors, choreographers and authors. At KVS, they develop both their own personal work and shared projects, plus cross-pollination over periods of years. We intend to be a place of mental and physical encounter, an urban artery running from tradition to the future. On the basis of an inclusive view of what art is capable of, we aim to be an intercultural, inter-generational and open-gender city theatre that resonates far beyond Brussels.

Events

THE ONE (ET DEMI) MAN SHOW

An almost-one-man show. With a man, a real one. One and a half, if we’re being nice. Just the half if we’re being critical. No matter what, he steals the show. And the fans love that. Some say he’s hot. And the fans love that. And the women? Do they love it? That doesn’t matter. Or does it? It’s him who has the floor, him who gets heard. That’s how it goes when you’re a public persona, right? You say what they want to hear from you, no? And what about them?

The performance (45 mins) is followed by a 30-minute discussion (FR/NL) with Pitcho Womba Konga (director and co-author), Salim Haouach (actor and co-author) and Zina Hamzaoui (midwife and relational therapist), moderated by Kristin Rogghe (KVS dramaturge).

Coloured Swan 3 : Harriet’s reMix

Coloured Swans 3: Harriet’s reMix is the third part in Moya Michael’s Coloured Swans series. For this piece, Moya collaborates with three young creatives – Loucka Fiagan, Oscar Cassamajor and Milo Slayers – and investigates the future in relation to the past and the present. These young performers represent the future, carrying with them visions of hope and alternative worlds, while also maintaining a dialogue with their ancestors. A sub-Saharan African proverb says that we stand on the shoulders of giants. But what if we cannot tap into the greatness of our ancestors to guide us safe and sound into the future?
