Peeping Tom is a Belgian dance theatre company, founded by Gabriela Carrizo (I/AR) and Franck Chartier (F).
Peeping Tom's main trademark is a hyper-realistic aesthetic, supported by concrete scenography: a retirement home for Vader (Père), two residential caravans for 32 rue Vandenbranden (2009) and a living room for Le Salon.
The creators then break open this realism. They create an unstable universe that defies the logic of time, space and mood. You become the witness - or rather, the voyeur? - of what usually remains hidden and unsaid. Isolation leads to an unconscious world of nightmares, fears and desires, which the creators deftly use to shed light on the dark side of a character or a community. The huis clos of family situations remains for Peeping Tom a major source of creativity. Presented using a rich imagery, a fascinating battle arises against one's environment and against oneself.
Since its creation in Brussels in 2000, Peeping Tom has performed all over the world. The company has received several major awards, including the Olivier Award in London for 32 rue Vandenbranden, and the Patrons Circle Award at the Melbourne International Arts Festival. Peeping Tom's shows have been selected on numerous occasions for theater festivals in Belgium and the Netherlands.
