Leporello annually provides a repertoire of at least seven titles, in different languages, ranging from classical to contemporary. The theatre productions, with no set, lie somewhere between music, text and dance theatre. They are programmed in Belgian and European theatres and festivals, and often run for many years. Ensemble Leporello stands for total theatre of flesh and blood, in which rejoind
ers, scenes and acts are stylised in a musical-rhythmic way, very much like a score. It goes back to the ancient forms of theatre and commedia dell ‘arte. Ensemble Leporello’s acting style is based on the belief that theatre has something that no other art form equals, something very old and forever young, something that sprouts in all times and in all cultures, once it is performed for an audience. How simple the spectacle may seem, it is essentially very ingenious and virtuoso drama. It is intended and performed for an audience that is addressed on an emotional and intellectual level.
