Maxime Dreesen & De Studio
theatre

What would your life look like if you could rediscover your sexuality in public space?

PEEKABOO is a vision of a world transformed into a sex playground. This universe depicts new ways of contact through ‘cruising’: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air.

Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters.

EP-release The Move
music

After Dull Boy Johnny's previous release, a double EP with a tropical A-side and an erotic B-side, this time the three gentlemen are out on the dance floor. After all, the neighbors decided as much.

Unlike the recordings of their previous work that took place abroad, this time they stayed in a steamy attic room in Belgium, where guitarist and producer Jan built a studio. Unable to record at night because of neighbors who did not (yet) appreciate Dull Boy Johnny's music, they dove into Antwerp's nightlife.

music

The Colorist Orchestra plays new instrumental pop music. The orchestra reworks well-known instrumental hits into new compositions, often with only subtle references to the original. This 'recomposed music' is inspired by genres as diverse as disco, electronica, classical music and traditional folklore, with one goal in mind: to make you dance. The Colorist Orchestra aims to reevaluate lost music and breathe new life into it, by recoloring recognizable melodies and experimenting with new sound combinations.
