Dancing Queens (Love-band & Pascale Seys)

Dancing Queens (Love-band & Pascale Seys)

Disco-philosophical performance

Dancing Queens bring together two worlds that, at first glance, seem completely unrelated: philosophy and disco. It is a musical performance, sung and danced, in which the disco show is enhanced by philosophical interventions – and vice versa. Six women on stage. On the one hand, the philosopher, dressed in black, majestic, seated in her chair and expounding her thoughts on ‘our connections’. On the other hand, the love girls, five women in flashy sequinned outfits who take disco hits and sing, dance and celebrate life, partying, love and pleasure. An unexpected and explosive connection occurs between such rich, serious, creative and profound, even tragic, thinking and music that is embodied, sparkling, offbeat and… so sexy. Very philosophical dancing queens…

Presse

Découverte aux Inattendues: la liberté passe par le lien. Démonstration par Love Band (cinq femmes surdouées) avec la philosophe Pascale Seys, en état de grâce. Enfin, pour que cet improbable mélange de genres se transforme en un spectacle, il y a la magie d’Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski, musicienne, chorégraphe, metteuse en scène, dont le talent singulier est aussi le motto : mettre la musique en corps. Un flux jouissif : le disco met la philosophie en chansons. (La Libre Belgique, Martine Dumont-Mergeay, 03.09.25)
