ÉSAC, Cirqu’Conflex and the Hendrick Van Der Zee company (HVDZ) are inviting residents of Anderlecht and non-profit organizations to create together a film-show called “If your eye were sharper, you would see everything moving”
The concept of vigil is the starting point of this creation. The vigil is a 15-day residency where the artistic team meets the inhabitants of Anderlecht, records testimonies, offers artistic interventions – made of words, gestures, and images – and integrates their daily landscapes and their places of life. The artists will roam the streets, knock on doors, read texts, dance in the street and invite the public to attend the show born from all these encounters…
The goal is to create a show with the second year ESAC students, ensure the transmission of Vigil techniques to the students and produce a film show at the end of the residency. A film with and for the people met during the residency.
A show will be presented to you from January 30 to February 3, 2019 at L’ESAC. It will be the result of a 10-day residency and will combine acrobatics, texts, dances, videos and meetings.

Turn over a new leafShow staged by Milan Herich and Petr Forman with third year students from the Higher School of Circus Arts.
What is the reason, the sense or motivation for which a circus artist chooses such object, such instrument, such tool, as a constant partner? Is the relation to the object more important, more exciting and more interesting than the ability that we have to practice with this one? Rather than being our opponent, could the object become our partner? The relationship between both of them is at the heart of the new collective show of ESAC. Through internal exploration, cooperative research and unlayering, twenty young artists look for reconciliation with the tools which share their art in day to day.
