The event is over
In Cascade, Meg Stuart and seven dancers experiment with how to oppose linear time. Amidst complex rhythms and set structures, they throw their bodies and minds into a new temporal space, bringing into play inevitable outcomes.
Races and tumbles abound, bodies lose their bearings, principles are reiterated, suspended and transformed. Cascade is a free-fall experience in time as it crumbles, in which that which we do not know of the other is surrendered.
Written by Tim Etchells, with scenography designed by Philippe Quesne as part of his first collaboration with Meg Stuart and music composed by Brendan Dougherty

In each of her works, Meg Stuart explores new territories in collaboration with artists from different creative disciplines and manoeuvres within tensions between dance and theatre. Her work is centred around the idea of an uncertain, vulnerable and self-reflexive body. Meg Stuart has received various awards for her work and practice, including a Bessie Award in 2008 and the Konrad-Wolf-Preis in 2012. In 2018, the Venice Biennale awarded her the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in the dance category. Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods have an ongoing collaboration with Kaaitheater (Brussels) and HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin).
