TRANSLAB
TRANSLAB / MUZIEKTHEATER TRANSPARANT and DE SINGEL are looking for young talent!
AUDITIONS FOR RE(SET)
WHO? Young singers, dancers, instrumentalists and performers between 15 and 25 years old
With the TRANSLAB project RE(SET), Muziektheater Transparant and DE SINGEL once again open the doors for young talent. For two weeks, you’ll fully immerse yourself in the world of musical theatre. A team of artists will work with a group of young singers, instrumentalists, dancers and performers, aged 15-25. Your genre or style is not important; all you need is the will to create a musical theatre performance together. The artistic team draws the outlines, but there is always room for your voice, your song, your moves and your creativity. Your idea counts!
ABOUT (RE)SET
RE(SET) will be a performance about transition, change, metamorphosis, ending and starting again. Setting and resetting. RE(SET) is also about vulnerability and being touched: about searching for safety, the fear of letting go and allowing the metamorphosis to happen; about blending into the group and retreating behind your own facade, your own identity. We draw inspiration from ancient sources like Ovid's Metamorphoses, but also from the present day: a time of change, vulnerability and uncertainty, but also of dreams and possibilities.
COACHES
• Benjamin Vandewalle
• Fatou Traoré is an eclectic and mixed artist, an insatiable explorer of movement and sound, performer, choreographer, singer and musician… Live music is at the heart of her work. The search for the unknown, the potential represented by human differences and gender diversity, feed the chaos necessary for its creative fruitfulness.
• Berlinde Deman is involved as a musician in groups such as FeS and Graindelavoix. She plays tuba but has lost her heart to the serpent, for which she makes her own compositions and participates in numerous creative collaborations.
• Stef Heeren is musician and producer and has experience on concert stages as well as in theater and dance studios. He is also a noise maker and knob-twiddler with a big love for eclectic music with an outsider touch.
• Els Mondelaers is one of the most requested singers in contemporary musical theatre. She combines her expertise in new music with a love of theatre and performance.
• J BOY is a multidisciplinary artist using performance and textile work as a way to embrace and fight. In (RE)SET she take care of the styling.
