In residence: Rompeltier
22.09.2025
In a world where voices multiply and bodies defy gravity, a new space arises. A space between sound and movement. Between past and present.
Rompeltier is an ode to polyphony, but the troubadours of the Middle Ages are also not far removed. An ode to the wonder of multiple tonal voices resounding simultaneously, colliding, and merging. Like an imaginary companion, the spirit of Jacob Obrecht weaves through the performance. His music—born from the silence of the Renaissance—forms the beating heart of this modern aerial choreography.
Musicians Thomas Baeté and Raphaël De Cock allow the layered nature of Obrecht’s compositions to merge with the refreshing acrobatics of Thomas Decaesstecker. Music becomes movement. Tension becomes sound.
A place where Renaissance and circus intersect. Where voices speak without words and bodies sing without a voice.
