Gabriela Carrizo, choreographer and co-founder of Peeping Tom, shares more about the three worlds audiences will journey through during the show Triptych.
Peeping Tom has been making waves on the European dance scene since the early 2000s with its offbeat, genre- bending universe portrayed by extraordinary performers. An unconstrained imaginary world where horror and extravagance go hand in hand.

Belgian company Peeping Tom fascinates audiences with its hyper-realistic aesthetic, somewhere between dance, theatre and film, underpinned by set designs rooted in reality. In this universe that defies the conventions of time and space, the audience becomes a witness—a voyeur?—to inner dramas that are usually hidden or hushed up. The Triptych trilogy reaches rare heights of inventiveness and physical agility. Each part takes place in an enclosed space: a living room with multiple doors that won’t open; a ship’s cabin; an abandoned restaurant taking on water. The set changes are carried out in full view, as on a film set. Subjected to uncontrollable natural forces, with no way out, the tormented characters move between past and present, real and invented memories, against a backdrop of eerie sound effects. Captivating.

Peeping Tom is a Belgian dance theatre company, founded by Gabriela Carrizo (I/AR) and Franck Chartier (F). Peeping Tom's main trademark is a hyper-realistic aesthetic, supported by concrete scenography: a retirement home for Vader (Père), two residential caravans for 32 rue Vandenbranden (2009) and a living room for Le Salon.
