Side-Show
Residency: Portraits
Portraits
In Portraits, Aline Breucker and Quintijn Ketels portray two circus artists: Camille Paycha and Sander De Cuyper. The idea behind this is pretty simple. The audience enter a workshop where people are wrapped up in their job and in philosophising. At the same time, the performers try to give structure to their ideas and put things into place. Existential questions come up, such as “Is it a portrait of a person, a practice or a relationship between two people?” and "If you look at me, who am I looking at?”. A surprising picture of the situation is painted in circus techniques, drawings and monotypes.
About Side-Show
Based on a shared fascination for the traces that a movement leaves behind, Aline Breucker and Quintijn Ketels set up the company Side-Show in 2009. The cross-disciplinary approach of the company leads to performances that demonstrate a unique combination of circus and visual arts.
