Profile
Bio
Based in Brussels, Compagnie Thor was founded in 1990 by choreographer Thierry Smits, whose performances oscillate between pure dance and performance art and explore, often in an eclectic fashion, the ambiguities between the sacred and corporeal, all the while probing the metaphysical problems of an individual’s state of mind and emotions. In 20 years, with its outstanding group of performing artists drawn from around the globe, Compagnie Thor has evolved into one of the mainstays of the Belgian dance world and has garnered itself an international reputation, touring extensively in Belgium and abroad, throughout Europe (France, the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Denmark, Hungary, Croatia), the USA, the Middle East and Northern Africa.
