Sitting in front of his computer, Jan Martens waits for you. He is about to perform a series of attempts exploring both his choreographic art and his daily life in a world in which new technologies play an essential part.

Jan Martens
After training at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, Jan Martens, born in 1984, began his choreographic work in 2010 with the constant desire to engineer encounters between the audience and the performance, critically exploring the act of creation and the metamorphoses of the processes of composition within new technologies.
