An intense journey into the pain of being a teenager

Acrobatic bodies contort into impossible positions. A live band immerses you in a soundscape of gothic and metal. out of hands is a dance and music performance about the darker side of being young.

In ancient myths, youth often symbolises purity, innocence, and hope. But behind that idealised image lies a very different world—one of unbalanced bodies, dark thoughts, and awakening sexuality. In out of handss, a group of young performers takes you on an intense journey into their underworld—straight to the raw pain of being a teenager.

Michiel Vandevelde is a choreographer, dancer, and writer. He is affiliated with the Antwerp arts centre De Singel as a curator. In recent years, he has created works such as Le Sacre du Printemps and The Goldberg Variations (in collaboration with Platform-K). By the age of 18, Michiel had already performed in five youth productions by fABULEUS and created four of his own. Paradise Now (1968-2018), which he made for fABULEUS in 2018, was hailed as one of the most exciting dance performances of that year.

By looking at the aesthetic features one has, their other qualities seem to lose meaning.

How we look shapes how we experience the world. Attractiveness opens doors, but ‘pretty privilege’ comes with a downside. Those who fit the ideal beauty standard are often reduced to their appearance. At the same time, young people are increasingly struggling with unrealistic beauty norms—ever more extreme, ever less attainable.

The Ethereal Paradox is a three-part dance solo in which dancer Zoë Chungong explores the meaning of beauty. Each part highlights a woman presenting her body through the lens of a different era and dance style. From the roaring twenties to contemporary hip-hop culture, and into a future where beauty may exist only in the virtual realm.

In recent years, Zoë Chungong has performed in any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones by Jan Martens, What We Can Do Together by MonkeyMind Company (BE) and Unmute Dance Company (SA), and GAZE by Laura Neyskens & Raphaël Vandeweyer. This season, she also performs in the revival of THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER by Jan Martens.

About the driving force of a group, pushing boundaries and finding freedom within limits

This rousing choreography brings together eleven young people, each with their unique strength and vulnerability. They dance the lungs out to beats by multi-instrumentalist Dijf Sanders. Gradually, new forms of movement, new bodies, new standards emerge. Repeatclub is about the driving drive of a group, about pushing boundaries and finding freedom in limitation.

Choreographer Danaé Bosman danced for fABULEUS in the award-winning dance performance ZOO doen ze de dingen (co-production with hetpaleis). In recent years, she has made several dance productions for young audiences at LAP, Theater De Spiegel and FroeFroe, among others, including ON- (FroeFroe, 2023), a creation with dancer Miguel Do Vale and actor/dancer Sander Deckx, who is confined to a wheelchair. In Repeatclub, Danaé explores how, through repetition and collaboration, we can find a common rhythm, like a flock of birds moving through the air in perfect unity.

Repeatclub redefines what it means to be different, and shows how music and dance can bridge the gap between people, regardless of their background or physical abilities.
