From age 16, young people are invited to create their own association, through which they engage in a series of artistic and civic adventures. One of Bal Spécial's objectives is to gradually foster their autonomy and enable them to become the true creators of their projects.
This two-year journey offers them a genuine artistic creation experience. Together, the young people create two to three performances of around twenty minutes each. One of the creations is made in co-creation with an invited choreographer, while another is developed more autonomously, with the support of Anne-Lore Baeckeland.
After Pépouze in 2020, co-creation with Wolf Govaerts
Yliti in 2022 (co-creation with Katia Pire)
and Manchedi in 2025 (Co-creation with Pierre Bastin and Davidé Zazzera)
a new generation is preparing to present its creations in 2028.
Throughout this journey, participants are led to question their relationship with themselves, with others and with the world around them. These reflections feed their artistic approach and become the raw material of their choreographic creations.
