Chroniques. Peeping Tom

Peeping Tom, the Belgian dance-theatre company, presents Chroniques, a piece about existence and immortality starring five performers trapped in a temporal labyrinth.

Chroniques is a dance-theatre show that explores life, endurance and the desire to outwit death through a succession of brief scenes, like chapters of a single story.

The production places five figures in a dark, poetic setting where each one faces different physical laws while trying to defy immortality. The performers' bodies keep revealing new ways of inhabiting the stage, and the piece leaves open a question: whether the landscape on show is a territory for creating something new or the remains of what no longer exists.

The company, founded by Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier, works with highly demanding techniques and an extreme choreographic language, combined with performances of strong dramatic intensity. Its productions have toured international theatres and festivals, and its awards include the Olivier Award in the United Kingdom for 32 rue Vandenbranden and the Fedora Van Cleef & Arpels Prize.
