BROEK 2022

De Zomer is van Mechelen started again with BROEK 2022: on 10, 11 and 12 June, arts center nona organised the third edition of this open-air festival in the Provincial Domain Vrijbroek Park. After two summers without being able to go full steam ahead, this festival was one of the first where the public could once again fully enjoy circus, dance, music and theatre.

On 5 stages throughout the park you were able enjoy 6 different performances by internationally acclaimed choreographers Jan Martens (Sweat Baby Sweat) and Serge Aimé Coulibaly (Kalakuta Republik). Cuir, by the French circus company Un Loup pour l'Homme, was another hit on the festival circuit: two men in leather armour performed a haunting and physically exhausting duet about (pulling) strength. With the better text theatre in The Rules of Attraction (sweat in L.A.!) and the pumping pop-up choreography of Onaf, a younger generation was also present. The catchy & absurd theatre concert Brik Tu-Tok by Maxim Storms & Linde Carrijn pulled us into the night again, with more costume changes than during a Beyoncé concert!
