Stones are lying on the ground. The back wall of the stage is covered in grey sackcloth, an old bin is growing ever more rusty. An out-of-the-ordinary choreography brings this literally raw environment to life. Seven children, an old woman and a middle-aged man: three generations are faced with difficult conditions and have to find their bearings. The children make head against the chaos whilst the grown-ups stay in the background. Next to the battlefield the musician Thomas Devos celebrates the courage of the small warriors.

In raw a community powerfully and courageously dances against adverse living conditions. Their movements are wild and boisterous. The play puts the children’s perspective at the centre of events and develops a thrilling beat.

kabinet k is a contemporary dance company from Ghent, founded and led by Joke Laureyns and Kwint Manshoven. The choreographers’ main objective is to bring the movement vocabulary of untrained amateurs together with that of professional dancers. Their pieces are strongly influenced by the pictorial arts and create metaphorical, abstract images that address both children and adults alike.
