New production: INgeniOUS



Finding its premiere the end of March 2012, Erwin Wauters' new production INgeniOUS is launched. 





Ingenious is an imaginary dance work with live electronic music played by the performers focussing on the exceptional behavior of 3 geniuses in order to keep touch with daily life; in order to function as a human being.

3 geniuses, each on their own with great trivia and anecdotes to be told; to become staged: 





  • Pierre Alain Volondat: piano master extraordinaire, winner of the 1983 Concours Reine Elizabeth, Belgium (one of world's largest contests for piano, violin or voice). Frustrated and obsessed to keep his spectacles clean and his page the right way up, you wonder?
  • Stanley Kubrick: does this great master of cinematography still need to be presented? Hermit to the bone. Opposite to his work, his face was hardly known to the mass, working with a medium that has an exposure to many millions of people?
  • Immanuel Kant: German philosopher, personally taking care of a corner stone in our western way of reasoning. Greatly supported by his aid Lampe in what can be seen as one of worlds most peculiar obsessive routine kept lives seen in history?






Ingenious is wE/kataRakt's way to stage and portrait the thin red line through, what can be seen as "strikingly outrageous" behavior. A link, separated from their professional geniality, could be drawn in the behavior of these 3 people and from an outsiders point of view seen as utterly frustrated, routined, sometimes depressed yet overly persistence driven hermits catalogued as geniuses.

In 1998 his first full night work '@-.' (at - dot) was staged, followed by ‘6.4.U.2?’, ‘One Track Mind’ en ‘Sangre Hirviendo’. In 2004 the work ‘Sessions of Awkwardness’ was successfully received as the first work of his project based dance company wE kataRakt, followed by ‘Infraspectre’, ‘Vlees verkoopt’ and the co-creation of 'Pavane/Objekt II'. Erwin Wauters was the founder of DWH / Danswerkhuys as well as artistic coordinator of the MAYDaY! Dance Festival in CCBe and Monty (Antwerp) and the connected dArK RoOm residency.
