BEAT IT!

What are you going to do with the anger in your stomach?
When is aggression healthy? How does violence move? A story in between comedy and absolute seriousness involving theatre, dance, fights and stunts.

Violence as entertainment is part of our world. Not only in films and games, but in real life too. Whether it’s at school, at work or in our free time – unchecked, violent clashes repeatedly take place. Bullying is an issue that takes many forms in school life. »beat it!« has been inspired by this phenomenon. A dance performance for everyone. On the borderline between deep seriousness and uproarious schadenfreude. Nevski Prospekt from Ghent (Belgium) was founded by Ives Thuwis, Wim De Winne and Gregory Caers. The trio uses a visual and physical language that is capable of reaching as many children as possible, regardless of the background they come from or the language they speak. Their performances are well-known for their specific combination of dance and theatre. They have toured the entire world with productions such as »Hop« and »Métro Boulot Dodo«.

The group of artists Kollektiv F was founded in 2012. Imagination and humour are consistent elements in Kollekiv F’s dancing. Their artistically ambitious works are notable for their accessible movement language and address situations in the everyday lives of their young audiences.
