About the performance

In Portraits, Aline Breucker and Quintijn Ketels portray two very different circus artists: Camille Paycha and Sander De Cuyper. The underlying idea is quite simple. The audience enters a studio where people are busy working and philosophising.

In the meantime, the performers try to structure their ideas and to find a place for things. Existential questions such as “Is this a portrait of a person, a practice or a relationship between two people?” and “When you look at me, who do I look at then?” float to the surface. Thus a surprising portrait of the situation is created in circus techniques, drawings and monotypes.

Portraits is in fact two performances in one. We portray two circus artists: Camille Paycha and Sander De Cuyper. Their profiles are very different, but we feel a strong affinity with both of them. Portraits is clearly not about us, but about them.

If you look at something long enough, it will become revolutionary

About the company

A shared fascination for the traces that movements leave, that’s the basis of Compagnie Side-Show, which was founded in 2009 by Aline Breucker and Quintijn Ketels. The cross pollination between circus and the company’s visual arts leads to unique performances.
