In 2016, Geert Belpaeme teamed up with Mats Van Herreweghe at LAFS#1 with his performance SPRACHSPIEL: “There are no words, no concepts, no meaning, only bodies and the possibility of playing.”
And now there is Imaginary Numbers: We count all the time: when we stand in the store, when we dance, when we hold our breath to stop the hiccups. But also when we decide how many asylum seekers can be housed or when we try to map the extent of a natural disaster.
Imaginary Numbers is about the violence inherent in counting: in calculating, encompassing, containing, excluding, binaryizing a complex and multiple existence to make it fit into our world.
Imaginary Numbers flirts with the boundary between clownery, dance and theater.
