Re:Beat (3+)
Karolien Verlinden / De Formatie & Zonzo Compagnie

A sensory journey through dance, music and connection

Everyone has their own rhythm. But what happens when those rhythms intersect?

A flamenco dancer and a stepper let their bodies speak as percussion instruments: they build an exhilarating dance full of pulsating, complex rhythms. Live electronic sounds propel them forward – sometimes supportive, sometimes challenging, always surprising.

But Re:Beat doesn’t stop at the edge of the stage. Everyone is invited to join in. To feel how rhythm flows through the body. To discover how it moves, collides and connects.

Following FeL and Framed, choreographer Karolien Verlinden returns with a new rhythmic project. Re:Beat is a body score as a shared sensory experience. In the playful encounter between rhythms and dance styles, a story emerges about individuality and difference, collaboration and empathy – tailored to everyone with a heartbeat.
