De Standaard - Wavelength by Antigone: the clear number one
De Standaard - Theater Aan Zee opens with ‘world-class production’ Wavelength: “Things will first have to get much worse before they get better”

Radio 1 - Haider Al Timimi created Wavelength: “We start by calling each other cowards”

The heat is on.

Lucius and Haider dance their way through a conversation. They don’t know yet whether it will end in a duet or a duel. Clashing opinions, misunderstandings, sensitivities and frustrations are never far away. They face each other with the weapons they have: words and the language of dance. They listen, call out, whisper and challenge each other in a charged pas-de-deux.

One thing is certain: neither of them will leave until the conversation has run its full course. Until they have heard and felt each other’s wavelength. Because it matters.

Because today, it fucking matters.

Wavelength takes a real conversation between Haider Al Timimi and Lucius Romeo-Fromm about our polarised world and turns it into theatre. One came to Belgium from Iraq, the other from the United States. They share their concerns about the world: echo chambers, cancel culture, our place in the cosmos, and worldviews drifting so far apart that living together can seem impossible. Starting here, they dance their way towards a possible answer.

“Wavelength ranks among the finest productions presented on our stages this past season.” — Wouter Hillaert, De Standaard
