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 independence and enable them to become the true creators of their projects.
This two-year journey offers them a genuine experience of artistic creation. Together, the young people create two to three performances of around twenty minutes. One of the creations is made in co-creation with an invited choreographer, while another is developed more independently, 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 nourish their artistic approach and become the raw material for their choreographic creations.
