out of hands

Acrobatics and music meet in an intense trip to the underworld of being a teenager

STUK with 30CC

Acrobatic bodies wriggle into impossible positions. A live band immerses you in a sound bath of gothic and metal. out of hands is a dance and music performance about the dark side of being young.

In ancient myths, youthfulness often symbolizes purity, innocence and hope, but behind that ideal image lies a very different world: that of bodies out of balance, dark thoughts and burgeoning sexuality. In out of hands, a group of young people take you on an intense trip into their underworld. Straight to the pain of being a teenager.

Michiel Vandevelde is a choreographer, dancer and writer. He is attached to the Antwerp arts center De Singel as a curator. In recent years he has created Le Sacre du Printemps and The Goldberg Variations (together with Platform-K), among others. At 18, Michiel had already danced in 5 youth performances by fABULEUS and made 4 of his own creations. Paradise Now (1968-2018), which Michiel created for fABULEUS in 2018, was received as one of the most exciting dance performances of that year.
