Les SlovaKs is a relatively young dance collective whose members are Milan Herich, Peter Jasko, Anton Lachky, Milan Tomasik and Martin Kilvady. Under the name ‘new traditional dance’, Les SlovaKs have developed a way of dancing and performing that is based on their shared background, history and frame of reference. At an early age the five were already dancing at the Slovakian dance academy in Banska Bystrica. Later they moved to Brussels to study and build up a professional career in contemporary dance companies.

Like other companies in the ‘Flemish Wave’, De Tijd emerged on the margins of the theatre scene in the eighties. In the mid-nineties it created a furore with its spoken theatre and found itself at the heart of events in the performing arts world. Against the background of the present wave of multidisciplinary and technological work, this medium-sized company consistently continues to work on developing a single-discipline language-based theatre.
