The curtain is set to fall on the season at Le 140 with a dazzling and immersive celebration: Combo Cabaret #3 + End of Season Party on Friday, June 13th. This unique event offers an electrifying blend of contemporary dance, queer culture, and communal festivity, making it the perfect way to bid farewell to an inspiring season.
Two Spectacles, One Festive Table
Combo Cabaret nights at Le 140 are more than just performances—they are a ritual of togetherness. Guests are invited to enjoy not one, but two captivating shows, with a convivial dinner break in between. It’s a chance to share a meal, exchange impressions, and soak up the creative energy that defines Brussels’ vibrant cultural scene.
For this third edition, the program is particularly bold, featuring the explosive dance piece Ruuptuur and the hybrid queer project La Philantrope.
Ruuptuur: A Festive, Underground Ritual
Ruuptuur is a genre-defying dance spectacle that fuses urban, contemporary, and afro-beat styles into a collective ritual of movement and rebellion. Four dancers—half-centaur, half-cyborg—take the stage, propelled by pulsating, trance-inducing rhythms. Their performance is a celebration of energy, defiance, and transformation, inviting the audience to break free from the ordinary and embrace change—whether intimate, poetic, social, or political.
Concept and choreography: Mercedes Dassy
Collaboration and performance: Kim Ceysens, Justine Theizen, Dora Almeleh, Maeva Lassere, Kanessa Aguilar Rodriguez, Mercedes Dassy
Dramaturgy and artistic advice: Sabine Cmelniski
Costume design: Justine Denos

La Philantrope: Queer Poetry Meets Punk and Techno
After dinner, the night continues with La Philantrope, an innovative queer project by Léo Girones and Mathilde Rivet. Drawing inspiration from alternative music scenes—techno, punk, and more—La Philantrope crafts a raw yet poetic soundscape. Their performance transforms dark emotions into a celebration, conjuring the atmosphere of underground clubs, strobe-lit memories, and the visceral thrill of the dance floor.
It’s a sensory plunge into the heart of queer and punk culture, where boundaries blur and feelings are reimagined as collective euphoria.

A Night to Remember
Combo Cabaret #3 is not just an event—it’s an experience. Whether you’re a dance enthusiast, a lover of queer culture, or simply looking for an unforgettable night out, Le 140 welcomes you to join the festivities.
