Choreographers Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier of avant-garde Belgian dance company Peeping Tom examine family relations and intergenerational conflict with an international cast of contemporary dancers, a contortionist and a classically trained singer. 32, rue Vandenbranden was reportedly inspired by Shohei Imamura’s 1983 film The Ballad of Narayama, which tells the story of a village where everyone who reaches the age of 70 must go to a mountaintop to die. The action takes place in a cluster of rickety mobile homes under a wide-open sky—an appropriate backdrop for exploring the characters’ interior emotional landscape.
