One of STAN’s founding members, Jolente de Keersmaeker, has teamed up with Portuguese author and director, Tiago Rodrigues, to produce this specially commissioned stageplay by the prize-winning novelist, José Luis Peixoto. Peixoto’s first novel, Nenhum Olhar (Blank Gaze) won the 2001 José Saramago prize for best Portuguese-language novel. Keersmaeker lauds Peixoto’s “ability to guide the reader to the innermost depths of human nature.”

Gurshad Shaheman, Dany Boudreault Sur tes traces
The piece takes us a road-trip in the form of a double portrait involving two destinies, namely those of Gurshad Shaheman born in Iran, and Dany Boudreault in Quebec. Authors, directors and performers, the two artists got to know each other in Europe. Here, each of them sets off in search of their respective pasts.
Marion Duval Cécile
Certain encounters are life-changing. This piece is about Marion Duval's encounter with Cécile Laporte, an activist and author to whom she has decided to dedicate a show. The resulting 'truth-performance' is an inspiring one and enables us to embrace the unbearable complexity of the world in a light-hearted way.
Jaha Koo Haribo Kimchi
Haribo Kimchi, a hybrid performance combining text, music, video and robotics, embraces South Korean cuisine as part of an investigation into cultural assimilation, together with its conflicts and paradoxes. It enables Jaha Koo to ask questions first raised in his Hamartia trilogy.
