Scapegoat

28.11.25 — 29.11.25

In a desolate, dark inferno inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, faceless individuals wander.

In a play of perception and interpretation, the audience is drawn into a bleak landscape where beings perform a dance of despair, beyond what makes them human.

Scapegoat is a theatre performance by Belgian maker Ferenc Balcaen, exploring the shifting boundary between pain, love and eroticism. He makes distinctive use of the performers’ vocal identities, inspired by a wide auditory range from Gregorian chants to contemporary vocal techniques. 

Set to a soundscape based on Liszt’s Dante Sonata, Scapegoat invites the audience to reflect on the relationship between image, sound and intent.
