The Lyric/Loopstation/281118

Ontroerend Goed: Loopstation
Loopstation is an homage to routines and habits, the beauty of everyday rituals and wonder at the patterns that make the world go round. Contrary to what we’d love to believe, namely that we’re adventurous, always looking for change and excitement and unaffected by fixed patterns, we humans actually seek for comfort, balance and familiar structures. A big-stage performance with live music in which today is always a bit like yesterday but still different from tomorrow, and where growth is not an obligation but a natural consequence of the actions that give meaning to existence. Nothing is entirely new and yet anything is ever the same. Nine performers build a world on a rotating disk, a fascinating microcosm in which everything is connected and loops are no obstacle to progress.

Ontroerend Goed functions as a collective guided by the artistic director Alexander Devriendt. Convinced that every idea deserves its own brand of artistic expression, the company cherishes a sense of ownership for every single contributor to their work, from actors to light designers, scenographers to conceptual thinkers. Ontroerend Goed fabricates possible realities that question how we as individuals position ourselves in the world today. Covering a history of the universe in one evening, turning spectators into voters who eliminate actors, guiding strangers through a labyrinth of mirrors and avatars to meet themselves, the company has made it its trade­mark to be unpredictable in content and form.
