In the raw setting of an abandoned industrial space hidden in the city, Radio Vinci Park unfolds as a feverish ritual between human and machine. Choreographer François Chaignaud, a motorcycle stuntman, and a harpsichordist collide in a spectacular duel of seduction and attack, until the mechanics of fantasy spiral out of control. This masterpiece is performed only six times a year worldwide, offering a rare opportunity to witness such raw intensity firsthand.
From Monteverdi to Brahms, by way of the major classics, Radio Vinci Park revisits the disquieting strangeness of a hidden urban space—a place of fantasies tied to our contemporary infernos. In this raw setting, a motormachian ritual unfolds between choreographer François Chaignaud, motorcycle stuntman Cyril Bourny, and harpsichordist Marie-Pierre Brébant.
The performance brings together three distinct disciplines, each involving a different relationship between body and machine. Somewhere between a taming act, courtship dance, kidnapping, duel, and attack, this ritual gradually transforms the industrial space into a feverish arena where the mechanics of fantasy spiral out of control.

The quiet
Anthony van Gog
Wed May 20 21:00, Thu May 21 19:00, Fri May 22 16:00
This performance is currently sold out. Keep an eye on the website in the days leading up to the performance date for any tickets that become available. What happens when a body is no longer required to perform, but simply allowed to be? In this performative installation, three performers lie on an elevated platform. They breathe, tremble and tense. Through subtle sound and intimate lighting, minimal movements become tangible. Not a conventional performance, but a quiet, sensory experience of the body in its purest form.
Sweet Spot
Harald Beharie
Sat May 16 19:00 & Sun May 17 18:00 uur
Six performers pull you into Sweet Spot, a restless whirlwind of dance and sound. Drawing on the myths of Norwegian folk, a chain dance spirals into an alluring current where dances and fleeting fictions surface and submerge. With the haunting tones of the Hardanger fiddle, this queer performance explores the body as a site for ambivalence – where identity and power are constantly negotiated and mutating.
Klei
Schweigman& i.c.w. Zoro Feigl & HIIIT
Fri May 15 till Sun May 17 20:00 & Wed May 20 till Sat May 23 20:00
In an unpredictable landscape of ten tons of clay, body and music merge. Klei is a sensory search for the primal connection between human and earth, in all its beauty, struggle, and wonder. An invitation to return to the essence: How do we relate to our bodies? And to the land we inhabit? Immerse yourself.
