Inter-view 2014 - Benjamin Vandewalle

With Inter-view, Benjamin Vandewalle brings the theatre back to its essence, its roots, its etymological meaning: “to watch, to contemplate”. Placed in the public space, three boxes looking like puppet theatres or fairground stands, offer themselves to the passers-by’s curiosity. A simple opening enables to put the head inside each box. What happens next is a big surprise... It will surely be a poetic and sensory encounter.

Choreographer Benjamin Vandewalle is fascinated by observation. His creations are guided by the actions of looking and being looked at. In Inter-View, Benjamin explores the essence of the gaze. There is no script, only the magic of a spontaneous visual encounter. The installation has its roots in Theâtre de la Guillotine, the micro-theatre for one spectator Benjamin created when he graduated P.A.R.T.S in 2006.
