Isabelle Beernaert

The performance in brief

In ROUGE, Isabelle Beernaert lets the body speak where words fall short.

Back to the core

After 40 years, she returns to where it's all about for her: emotion directly in motion. No detour, no filter. Stomping feet, trembling earth and dancers who don't stay still. They move on the border between control and surrender, between explosion and stillness.

Everything in motion

Anger, fury and vulnerability are given space and transformed into pure energy. Bodies become instruments of something older than language. Red runs through the performance like a heartbeat. ROUGE is rauw, physical and sensory. An experience you feel and that lingers.
