SOETKIN DEMEY AND TIBO VANDENBORRE
PRINT THIS PAGEBio
Soetkin Demeygraduated from the Brussels Rits school of theatre as an actress (2011). Though she has played several times in creations by Manah Depauw and Michael Bijnens, she identifies herself mainly as a theatre maker.
In her master year at the Rits she creates two solos exploring identity versus the body (coach was Bernard Van Eeghem), in order to ‘scientifically’ know oneself from inside to outside. What is my body? Am I the result of my body or is the body my object? Who am I? What makes me me?
In her research she looks for materials to accentuate this friction between the body and how and what you feel in this body, always starting from autobiographic elements. In her solo ‘insert picture here’ (2010) about anorexia she uses tape to literally make a second skin, in ‘Song from the childhood’ (2011) she uses cardboard to make a second self. In ‘i am some body parts’ (2012) fabric instead of clothes help her to deconstruct a striptease.‘I am looking for the face I had before the world was made’ (2012) talks about the gender question and more specifically ‘the male gaze’ and in ‘DSM-IV-TR 307.1’ (2013) she works on the correlation of body and disease.
