Peeping Tom

Peeping Tom is a Belgian dance theatre company, founded by Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier. Everything in Peeping Tom's work starts from a hyperrealist setting. The space feels familiar, such as a retirement home in Vader (2014), two trailer homes in a snow-covered landscape in 32 rue Vandenbranden (2009), or a living room (Le Salon, 2004). The creators then break open this realism. They create an unstable universe that defies the logic of time, space and mood. You become the witness - or rather, the voyeur? - of what usually remains hidden and unsaid. Isolation leads to an unconscious world of nightmares, fears and desires, which the creators deftly use to shed light on the dark side of a character or a community. Presented using a rich imagery, a fascinating battle arises against one's environment and against oneself.
