About les yeux bleus

Les Yeux Bleus is a not-for profit organization structured around Belgian Performing Artist & Dramatist Jessa Wildemeersch. Les Yeux Bleus stimulates intercultural dialogue, community development and artistic innovation through theatre performances. The company allows Jessa Wildemeersch to develop her artistic work in collaboration and co-production with local and global artists, communities and venues. les yeux bleus remixes historical and present-day events into multi-media theatre performances. Wildemeersch is actively working in the contemporary European and International Performing Arts field. She is developing her own voice against the backdrop of theatre traditions which have dominated western culture. Wildemeersch is convinced that great storytelling is part of everyday life. Through audio-recording, interviews and field recordings, she captures everyday stories and places them in relation to the larger, universal myths. Wildemeersch enriches her work by juxtaposing documentary material with fiction and is constantly challenging her point of view through collaboration with artists from different practices and disciplines. By re-examining the female perspective in the work of classical authors (like Shakespeare, Chekhov and Becket.) and by re-thinking how woman are represented on stage, Wildemeersch breaks with an ‘engrained’ identification of female representation on stage and chooses to highlight a female perspective in what is traditionally being perceived to be a mostly male field. Les Yeux Bleus is a Belgian Performing Arts Company based in Brussels. The administrative office is located in Haacht, Belgium.
