Because the United Kingdom has designated Belgium as a red zone as a result of Covid-19, Trajal Harrell's company will unfortunately not be able to play on the announced dates in Brussels. Those who have already bought a ticket will be contacted and reimbursed.

Contemporary dance, voguing, Japanese butoh, ancient Greek theatre, performance art – the American choreographer Trajal Harrell conjures up his elegant, subtle vocabulary from the influence of a wide range of genres. Harrell’s Maggie The Cat is inspired by Maggie, the troubled but tough central character of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, with Harrell shifting the perspective away from the rich white family to the African-American servants. For the performance he created an interior that ranges through the kitchen and the parlour, the bedroom and the veranda, simultaneously revealing and deconstructing the social fabric of a segregated society, while dancing, voguing and celebrating the American South. The night-on-the-town soundtrack is equally at home in the nightclub and the theatre. After his highly acclaimed solo Dancer of the Year which he presented at the festival last year, he returns to Brussels to share a graceful choreography danced with sheets, pillows and home furnishings. As if he had been locked up in an apartment for three months with the performers and this performance exploded from it. A joyful statement about the invisible borders in people’s homes and a story that makes us travel to the hidden spaces of a canonical classic.
