Ictus ensemble

Ictus is a Brussels-based contemporary music ensemble. Since 1994, it has shared the premises of the P.A.R.T.S. dance school, and the Rosas company (headed by Anne-Teresa De Keersmaeker) with which it has collaborated on fifteen productions, from “Amor Constante” to “Repertoire Evening.” Ictus has also worked with other choreographers including Wim Vandekeybus, Maud Le Pladec, Noé Soulier, Eleanor Bauer and Fumiyo Ikeda, Etienne Guilloteau.

Every year, Ictus performs in Brussels for an entire season, in partnership with the Kaaitheater and Bozar. This season, Ictus will experiment again with programs for a culturally aware but non-specialist audience: theater, dance, performance and music enthusiasts. The ensemble examines formats and ways of listening: very short or very long concerts, mystery programs, guided concerts, concerts-cum-festivals where the audience is free to roam between stages (the famous “Liquid Room” performed all over Europe).
