Alain Platel et Frank Van Laecke

Les ballets C de la B
Gardenia (création 2010)
 

Renowned for its “popular, anarchic, eclectic, committed” style, this artists’ collective presents a novel project by three international figures from Ghent, Belgium: founder Alain Platel; Frank Van Laecke, directorial wizard; and Vanessa Van Durme, transexual cabaret artist. It probes the existence of nine captivating characters of mature years, including seven ex-transvestite performers. These big-hearted friends invent a true, funny and poignant story about encounters and intimacy that blends dance, theatre and music.
