A Two Dogs Company / Kris Verdonck A Two Dogs Company is supporting the artistic practice of artist Kris Verdonck and his companions.

BIOGRAPHY / KRIS VERDONCK

Kris Verdonck (born 1974) studied visual arts, architecture and theatre and this training is evident in his work. His creations are positioned in the transit zone between visual arts and theatre, between installation and performance, between dance and architecture. As a theatre maker and visual artist, he can look back over a wide variety of projects. The artistic practice of Kris Verdonck has developed and expanded in a very fruitful way over the last few years. His projects have been presented on stages as well as in museums in Belgium and abroad. This growth can only be consolidated if a small flexible organisation can follow up and structure the work on a permanent basis. Theatre is never made alone: it is no longer the work of one dog, but about the practice of several dogs that play together. Thatโ€™s why Kris Verdonck has chosen a name inspired by Friedrich Torbergโ€™s poem, โ€˜Spleenโ€™: A Two Dogs Company. The company is structurally supported by the Flemish authorities and the Flemish Community Commission (VGC).

Between the mythical and the divine, and the physical, raw quality of the earth: this is the image of the exploited landscape that emerges in this exhibition. The ever-changing grey landscapes of ๐˜”๐˜ˆ๐˜š๐˜š #๐Ÿค acquire an increasingly ominous significance after a summer of climate disasters.

Who or what are the new gods of our time? What are the protocols of power in 2026? In ๐‘ท๐‘น๐‘ถ๐‘ป๐‘ถ๐‘ช๐‘ถ๐‘ณ , four dancers embody the forces that shape our reality: ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘‘ ๐‘ƒ๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘›, ๐ด๐ผ, ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐ธ๐‘”๐‘œ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐ถ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐ถ๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’.

๐ด๐ผ is a question of belief. It learns from human knowledge and interactions, simulating a model of humanity that might not even exist.

๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘’ ๐ธ๐‘”๐‘œ has become something divine. Individualism, social media and neoliberalism have made us our own gods, creating and performing our own image.

They move from minimal sounds and silence to an overwhelming climax that keeps growing, from elegant gestures to grotesque decadence.ย 

Made to be performed in public spaces or large venues, the performance unfolds among the audience as a slow-burning crescendo, from silence and stillness to pounding drums and electronic intensity.ย

The Brussels canal zone is changing, gentrifying, the rough edges vanish. ๐‘ซ๐‘ฌ๐‘ด๐‘ถ is both an absurdist portrait of an artist on the edge and a melancholic document of a city that no longer has space for certain, unemployed figures.

Days are dominated by an existential boredom, fought like any social media fanatic, by filming himself while performing stunts for an audience that doesn't exist. The performer's urge to entertain grows increasingly extreme, bitter, and dangerous. Pushing toward the absurd and the suicidal, though cartoon characters never truly die.

๐™Ž๐™๐˜ผ๐™‚๐™€๐™Ž #๐Ÿฎ Residency x iMAL: Winju, a non-binary Brussels-based artist whose work bridges sculpture, performance, and installation. Their practice merges organic and mechanical systems, exploring vulnerability, identity, and resistance, where irony and sarcasm become antidotes to the human condition.

Aigรผ is a dive into the paradoxes of care and control, where suffering becomes catharsis and order cracks open to expose its absurdity.

Winjuโ€™s work transforms medical and industrial aesthetics into absurd, malfunctioning machines. Raw therapy, an exorcism of inner and outer tensions. Their sculptures and installations simulate function while disrupting coherence, revealing the invisible dysfunctions of bodies and societies.

Follow their journey as they develop Aigรผ. A universe where the medicalized body meets noise, metal, and tech, generating tension, chaos, and dark humor.
