Arts Centre Vooruit, Ghent, Belgium

Superamas were the central guest during the Vooruit festival the game is up! – Art for sale in the 0708 season. The Franco-Austrian company performed their notorious BIG trilogy, which criticized contemporary attitudes ruthlessly, yet hilariously.

In Empire (Art & Politics) the company returns to a Napoleonic battle near Vienna in 1809, where both the Austrians and the French claimed victory. In Empire (Arts & Politics) Superamas try to find out how would-be hegemonies handle power. It hardly needs to be said that they will do this in their trademark style: dazzling and intelligent theatre interspersed with music, dance, multimedia and film.
