Peeping Tom
Peeping Tom is a Brussels-based dance/theater company founded in 2000 by Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier. Their work explores the idiosyncratic behaviour experienced in close relationships and personal experiences, making the audience voyeurs to the realistic yet dreamlike world they create. Peeping Tom has toured extensively throughout and beyond Europe with the trilogy Le Jardin, Le Salon and Le Sous Sol and has won several awards like the French Prix du meilleur Spectacle de Danse de l'année 2005, the Young Directors Award 2007 at the Festival of Salzbourg and the Patrons Circle Award at the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
Currently Peeping Tom is touring with 32 rue Vandenbranden and is working on a new creation.
