BARTLEBY begins with a tease. The curtain only rises a little, just enough to show feet. Expressive. Unexpected and intriguing from the first second. When it finally lifts, Vincent Lemaire’s set reveals itself in clean, minimal lines, white bricks, a black table, black chairs, and a bust. It’s atemporal, and still you feel the lawyer’s office in your bones.

MEDUSA at La Monnaie opens with a sound that feels like it’s coming from somewhere far away, then closer, then right at your throat. An eerie choral orchestration approaches in waves, growing louder and heavier, until the stage itself seems to answer it. A black set begins to move, pivot, and breathe, with fingers hanging from its surfaces. Then Medusa appears in white, framed by long red hair, while her two sisters, Euryale and Stheno, orbit her in black robes and strange headpieces, like omens.

Art Fantesies has built its reputation in Belgium on family friendly musical theatre with big heart and big visuals, and ALICE ET LA PIERRE D’OPAZE fits that identity perfectly. Conceived for the company's 20th anniversary, as an original sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the story follows Alice as she’s pulled back into a Wonderland now controlled by the Queen of Hearts, with her sister Célia missing and a mysterious Opal Stone at the centre of the conflict.
