predstavom Bal Modern. Rezultati se mogu videti u Rien de Rien. Damien Jalet (roden 1976), pohadao je brojne radionice (PEP - Klapstuk, Leuven, Ballet/Klein Technique/Yoga, Njujork, INSAS, Brisel), istraživao je pokret, pozorište, pa čak i italijanske narodne pesme. Wim Vanderkeybus ga je odabrao medu mnogim drugima da bi igrao u njegovoj produkciji The Day of Haven and Hell. Christina De Smedt iz Les Ballets C. de la B. pozvala ga je da učestvuje u njenom masovnom projektu 9x9, all samo mesec dana kasnije Damien je prešao na probe predstave Rien de Rien. Želeo je da se kreće, da igra, da bude fizički aktivan. U predstavi Rien de Rein on maksimalno zadovoljava svoju potrebu za pokretom. Laura Neyskens (rodena 1985. u Gentu), pohađa školu Atheneum Wispelberg u Gentu. Voli pozornicu što je već imala prilike da doživi u Bernadetje i lets op Bach (Alain Platei i Arne Sierens). Ne voli da miruje. Osim muzikom i klavirom bavila se I jahanjem, klizanjem I baletom. N 1 za šta na svetu ne bi dopustila da joj se skrati kosa. Dream debut by the Flemish Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui Les Ballets C. de la B.: Rien de Rien. Director/choreographer: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Cello: Roel Dieltiens (including
Gubaidulina, Ligeti, Van Hove). He is Belgian, Moroccan and homosexual. As for as our southern neighbours are concerned, things couldn't be worse. However, as the title of his production Rien de Rien suggests, choreographer and dancer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (24) has no regrets. He wrested himself from a highly religious upbringing and in show dancing on television, and danced away his puppy fat leaving him with the lean figure we now see before us. For years ago heenrolled at PARTS, which is Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's dance academy in Brussels, only to be snapped up by the Flemish celebrity Alain Platei for the production of lets op Bach (1997). And now Larbi Cherkaoui is making his debut with his own choreography for Platel's company, Les Ballets C. de la B. There is clear evidence of the master's hand in Rien de Rien, but Larbi Cherkaoui promises top dass work. He is a merciless observer of typically human behaviour. When Angélique Wilkie (singer with Zap Mama) tells her story about a trip on which she was offered a goat that had been slaughtered before her very eyes as a gesture of hospitality, her smallest gestures and exact words are imitated by the 14 year-old actress, Laura Neyskens. Synchronised down to the last millimetre, the choreography includes head and nose scratching, pausing for thought, desperate glances
