A successful premiere for Scarabée
On 23 & 24 May, our latest performance, Scarabée, premiered at the JEM Festival — and what a premiere it was!
The response was overwhelmingly warm. Audiences were captivated by the beautiful trunk, the magic of the transformation, the music, and the delicate creatures that come to life on stage.
The compliments keep coming, and one in particular has stayed with us:
“The final scene moved me deeply.”
Well done. Mission accomplished. 💛
The Machinery of Memory
Showcase
Wander through a selection of our past creations — installations and performances that once turned, rustled, and breathed, and have since left their own traces behind.
Some were created to fit a specific context, while others found their shape more organically. Yet each of them carries the spirit of De Machienerie: dreamlike, tangible, and just a little mechanical.
Although these creations are no longer on the road, their echoes remain, continuing to inspire new ideas at our workbench.
Looking to set something in motion yourself?
We still create custom-made installations. Let us know what you have in mind — we’d be delighted to think along with you.
Meet De Machienerie
De Machienerie is a Belgian production house and construction workshop that creates visual installations and street theatre for public space.
We build mobile worlds in which mechanics, scenography, and imagination come together in a distinctive universe.
What begins in the workshop evolves into installations and performances that engage with nature, the audience, and the places in which they appear.
Always in motion. Always in dialogue with the space around them.
