ANTHONY VAN GOG
CROWDKILL
2025-2026
From 2023, Anthony will join DansBrabant as a PLANmaker. He will spend the next few years working under the wings of DansBrabant on his research into the 'selfless body' - the idea that we humans have no fixed core, but that identity forms by mirroring what happens outside us.
The show crowdkill is a physical experience - for performer and audience alike.
Surrounded by four mega subwoofers, a figure explores the limits of his body in a 45-minute performance experience. The intense bass, together with a soundscape of instrumental melodies, ambient sounds and live body sounds, builds a space where nothing is certain anymore. What happens when the performer's body, as well as that of the spectator, no longer has any landmarks and cannot hold on to anything? What happens when the body is overwhelmed by space and sound?
Anthony van Gog (Antwerp, 1996) graduated from the Performance programme at the Maastricht Drama Academy in 2019. His work moves at the interface of theatre and visual art. He makes the body, sound and space play a game over and over again. In addition to his artistic practice, Anthony is pursuing a master's degree in Philosophy at the University of Antwerp.
