Compagnie Irene K. is a contemporary dance company founded in 1978 in Eupen (Belgium) by its art director Irene Kalbusch. Choreographies don’t want to be narrative. The spaces open in all directions, always creating new constellations. The Company has adopted an own style that can be attributed to contemporary dance theatre close to the “Tanztheater”. More than performances on stage – including for children, the Company offers performances in urban/ alternative landscapes. Compagnie Irene K. regularly develops educational, creative and interdisciplinary projects.

First, there were paws. In the cold light of nothingness, living creatures came forward. Footprints left in the sand, in the soil, carved into stone. Guiding us, leading us back to what we truly are: humans.
Lightyears abound, and Iguanodons, varans and crocodiles are always that one step ahead. Once paws are replaced by feet, dialogue truly begins. Rhythm and sound give birth to perpetual movement: music is here, dance erupts, exploring relationships of various kinds… Between humans and nature, humans and the animal kingdom, the ordinary vs. the extraordinary, dream vs. reality.
