November 26th., 2023: Tribute “Alice Toen”.
Sunday November 26th., 2023: Tribute “Alice Toen” in KVS Brussels at 3:00 PM.
With: Alice Toen, Françoise Vanhecke & Jean Van der Schueren.
The icing on the cake this autumn, a well-deserved tribute to Dame Alice Toen in the Royal Flemish Theater in Brussels on November 26th. Born theater maker and actress since 1924 and the ultimate embodiment of the fact that there is no age limit for passion. A credo to cherish, says Françoise:
Passion knows no age. Moreover, the stage can keep people young. Alice still bursts with energy when she can perform. I look forward to accompanying her again with Jean on this well-deserved tribute in her beloved KVS.

Thursday, November 16th., 2023: SOLISSIMA in Kortrijk Music Center at 20:15 PM.
In 'Solissima', the Belgian soprano Françoise Vanhecke presents a musical reflection of the zeitgeist. With different musical styles, sometimes solo at the piano, she delves into themes such as love and romance, war and peace.

Performance lecture (NL/FR/EN)
ISFV® Inhaling Singing is a revolutionary singing technique developed by the polyvalent vocal artist (soprano), Inhaling Singer, pianist, actress, improviser, soundpainter Dr. Françoise Vanhecke PhD. Her new singing technique makes a renewed artistic contribution to expression for the vocal music of the 21st century and is illustrated with results of collaborations with composers such as Annette Vande Gorne, Steef Verwée, Sebastian Bradt, Willy Van Buggenhout, Klaus Burger, Pascal Coppé as well as Irma Bilbao. These new sounds of the human voice within the context of the role of expressiveness in the musical landscape for the music of our time and its impact on the contemporary artistic platform fit perfectly within this festival with the theme 'The voice' and will certainly fascinate and captivate singers, composers, pedagogues as well as musicologists. Her scientific research into acoustic, physical and physiological characteristics of inhaling singing compared to normal exhaling singing have led to several scientific publications such as the "Journal of Voice".

05 May – 27 May 2018: theatre show "Tristesses" at Odéon, théâtre de l'Europe, Paris
"Tristesses"
A show by Anne-Cécile Vandalem (Das Fräulein (Kompanie))
With Vincent Cahay, Anne-Pascale Clairembourg, Epona Guillaume, Selene Guillaume alternating with Asia Amans, Pierre Kissling, Vincent Lécuyer, Catherine Mestoussis alternating with Zoé Kovacs, Jean-Benoit Ugeux, Anne-Cécile Vandalem alternating with Florence Janas, Françoise Vanhecke and Alexandre Von Sivers.
"Tristesses":if the name is here plural, it means that it is both that of a Scandinavian island, a police suspense, a political symptom. The island is hardly imaginary. Anne-Cécile Vandalem has located a fable for our time. Martha Heiger, leader of the Popular Awakening Party and favorite of the next elections, returns to Tristesses to repatriate the body of her mother on the continent. But why did Ida commit suicide while hanging on to the Danish flag? And what does her daughter really do? "Tristesses" being also a Nordic thriller, we will not reveal more here, but the isolated houses on the night of the set are the scenery of a drama where outdoor stage and indoor filmed alternate on a pace worthy of the best series. Finally, Tristesses proposes a reflection on the rise of populisms: according to Vandalem, "the sadness of the peoples" is today one of the most formidable techniques of manipulation of the spirits. But "tears", she adds, "have an infinite aesthetic power", indeterminable, and "emotions can be momentum, motor, energy to initiate an active speech or act". This energy conquered in 2016 the audience of the Festival d'Avignon: by exposing the enslaving mechanisms of sadness, the artist invites you not to succumb to them.
