ImmaculataTheatreImmaculataOn an ordinary sunny school day, two students take weapons out of their backpacks during lunch break and cause a bloodbath. Immaculata tells the story of four young people and how they spend their last hours. The performance takes place in an ordinary middle school, somewhere in Flanders. In the shadow of the approaching violence, they share their thoughts on love, friendship, and future plans, or precisely the lack thereof. What starts as a recognizable story about life at school slowly changes into a harrowing reality in which every second counts. The text, originally written in 2004, is inspired by true events surrounding international school shootings in Columbine and Erfurt. Today, in an age of online hate and increasing radicalization, young people are also increasingly involved in violence. That is why the story still sounds disturbingly current. With a new generation of actors, Immaculata brings this theme back to life in a poignant and current reworking.Sun 1 Nov · 20:00OPEK · LeuvenUntil 28 Novfrom €22 Tillie's tourTheatreTillie's tourFor those curious about the fascinating history of the Theater, we organize guided tours on the Sundays of Foyer Matinee. Families with children can go on a voyage of discovery through the building as early as the morning, thanks to the imaginative audio guide Tillies toer. Do you feel like standing on that big stage yourself? Do you wonder where those paintings on the ceiling come from, with all those naked people? Or who has walked on the majestic stairs of the royal entrance hall? Do you know what oddities are left behind in the cloakroom? And what does an artist's dressing room look like? Tillie? Tillie grew up as the director's child in the Theater. As a result, she knows the building like the back of her hand. She takes you on a tour and talks endlessly about that wonderful theater building, from the highest balcony to the orchestra pit under the stage. Theatermakers Sofie Palmers (BRONKS, fABULEUS) and Katrien Pierlet (Studio Orka) created an audio story for children about our pearl of a Theater. That became the imaginative audio guide Tillies toer. Sofie Palmers and Katrien Pierlet We asked theater makers Sofie Palmers (BRONKS, fABULEUS, hetpaleis) and Katrien Pierlet (Studio Orka, Ultima Thule, BRONKS) to create an audio guide for our pearl of a theater. They previously made the successful podcast Radio Fiona and know better than anyone how to dive into a child's imagination. They guarantee a beautiful story, in which, besides humor, there is also room for emotion and in which children learn something about theater and the rich history of our beautiful theater in a playful way.

In Woorden of the Night Traveler Farida examines how experiences from the past continue to work through in who we become, how others look at us, and how we learn to look at ourselves. With intimate stories, spoken word, humor, and imagery, she moves between memory and the present, between being visible and disappearing, between what others expect of you and who you could have been yourself. Who actually determines what trauma is? Must what happens to you make you stronger? And what if you refuse to give your pain the credit for the person you have become? Farida tells without sparing herself or her audience, but also without prescribing the answer. Sometimes sharp, sometimes absurd, sometimes painfully simple. Credits: Concept & text: Farida // Text coaching & direction: Rashif El Kaoui – Acting coach: Mike Van Alfen // With thanks to: Bart Van der Heijden // With support from: Cultuurhuis Casino, Ecru, Vermeylenfonds, BLOC 2030, Cinema Rix and Mestizo Arts Platform/WIPCOOPSun 1 Nov · 20:00–21:30OPEK - Openbaar Entrepot voor de Kunsten · Leuvenfrom €4

In the midst of the Cold War and the Space Race, Laika, a tiny puppy, roams the freezing streets of the city. She has no idea that her destiny will take her far beyond Earth. On board the spacecraft Sputnik II, she will go down in history as the first living creature to orbit the Earth. At the same time, Laika becomes a silent witness to the abuse of power and human ambitions over which she has no control. In this poetic and visually rich performance, Xirriquiteula Teatre employs a wide range of techniques: live rear projections, puppets, automatons, shadow play and live acting. The characters speak in a playful pseudo-Russian, accompanied by an impressive soundtrack. Every element is carefully woven into a harmonious whole, the result of a long and intense collective creative process in which each actor contributes their own expertise. A heart-warming and moving performance about dreams, stars and honesty on earth.

(Important! Due to an interplanetary mission, the Zumba class has been rescheduled as a one-off. All members have been informed of this.) Charon Tombaugh is about to make her grandfather, Clyde Tombaugh’s, greatest dream come true. He discovered Pluto, and now she is going to complete the journey he was never able to finish. All the way there.But there’s a problem: nobody wants to come along anymore. Ever since Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, interest in it has cooled considerably.After all, who would go all the way to a dwarf planet? Can she still go? And does she have to reach a certain place to truly understand something? Or is the greatest dream sometimes not to be the first to reach a place, but to protect something? What does ‘discover’ actually mean? PLUTO is a visual and musical show full of humour, wonder and absurd space adventures. It’s about exploring without conquering. About daring to dream of something that seems out of reach. And about whether something becomes any less special simply because someone gives it a different name. An intergalactic family show about big dreams and small planets. 3... 2... 1... Shall we go?Sat 7 Nov · 19:00–21:0030CC/Wagehuys · Leuvenfrom €8 POSTOTheatrePOSTOPOSTO is a participatory contemporary dance piece about finding a place. There is no designated space to sit; everyone finds their place wherever they want in the room. Three large balls invite the audience to join in, to run and dance, and sometimes to stand and watch together. How do we do this together? How can we have fun together? The balls will help us. As objects for playing, they invite people to move. Suddenly, a child will cross the room by running. Then it might be everyone running behind a ball, until we all sit in the center and look at planets floating above our heads. POSTO wants to reflect, through a game—partly to do, partly to watch—on the subtle balance between freedom of interaction and awareness of the group. It is an invitation to participate in a performance, playing on the fine line of having agency and always leaving a bit of space for others. A game about empathy and the sense of responsibility that develops when we play together.Sun 8 Nov · 11:00–17:0030CC/Schouwburg · Leuvenfrom €10

The MirrorTheatreThe MirrorGravity & Other Myths makes a distinctive form of Circus theatre, where artists push their boundaries to the limit. Human towers explode, while acrobats fly all over the place in an excruciating tempo. They play with facades, reality, illusions and expectations. They focus on themselves and the audience with cameras, selfie sticks, smoke-effects, loud music and film. They expose vanity and posing by asking the question: Do you see who you want to be or who you are? The Australian Circus theatre-group Gravity & Other Myths pushes the boundaries of what is physically possible. In the mirror, they prove themselves once again as one of the best circus companies in the world. The performance contains 8 acrobats and is directed by Darcy Grant and Jascha Boyce, while a live singer performs pop medleys composed by Ekrem Eli Phoenix. triggerwarning: Loud music and smoke machines,Wed 11 Nov · 20:00–22:0030CC/Schouwburg · Leuvenfrom €22 For what will comeTheatreFor what will comeIf you can dream about later, the future is at your feet. But when death is standing in front of your face, or even spitting in your mouth, time stands still. And what do you do then? Do you have a staring contest with death? Or do you instead make jokes with each other about how it might as well go look into grandma's eyes, because she is 97 and might as well go. But if the end turns out not to be the end after all, then you do want to be able to dream again. How do you do that again? In ‘Voor wat zal komen’ Boris-Johannes invites you on a theatrical journey. A journey with obstacles such as growing up as a young homosexual teenager, his lack of adaptability and parents without humour. Enough bumps to have a good laugh about.Fri 13 Nov · 20:00–21:15OPEK - Openbaar Entrepot voor de Kunsten · Leuvenfrom €14.50
