Isabelle Beernaert - Red

Over Isabelle Beernaert Isabelle Beernaert is a leading Belgian choreographer and theater maker, known for her powerful, emotionally charged dance performances that touch a broad audience. Trained at the Koninklijke Balletschool van Antwerpen, she developed a unique signature in which classical technique and contemporary influences come together. Her work moves at the intersection of dance, music, scenography, and experience, and has grown over the past few years into a fixed value in Flemish and Dutch theaters. In addition to her theater work, she became known to a large audience through her choreographies for television programs like So You Think You Can Dance. ________________________________ Season 2026--2027 After an intense tour year, Isabelle Beernaert is once again bringing two special projects to the stage. La Dame and Noir -- The Reunion (September 5 & 6, 2026) An exclusive and one-time revival of the iconic work La Dame and Noir. Only two unique moments, in which performers and audience come together again in a shared memory. This performance is a sensory total experience in which dance, live percussion, and rhythm merge into a soulful, almost ritual experience. Organic sounds and powerful movements carry you away to the essence of energy, connection, and humanity. Intimate, raw, and intense --- a unique opportunity to experience this work one last time. ROUGE (from October 2026 in Flanders and the Netherlands) With ROUGE, choreographer Isabelle Beernaert unleashes a new dance ritual. For forty years, she has been transforming emotion into a physical, universal language. Now that primal force bursts open: stomping feet, trembling earth, and bodies that refuse to remain silent. Anger, vulnerability, and fire merge into pure life energy. A sensory performance that burns, moves, and leaves no one untouched.
