Accomplices in the crime of having discovered everything that can be done with knives. At the heart of the show is a third protagonist: the structure. Suspended above the stage, 100 objects dangle in constant suspense. They could fall at any moment \u2014 triggered by a bespoke computer system and a single red button.<br \/>\nA contemporary circus show brimming with technology, featuring traditional touches of juggling, slapstick, Japanese cuisine, flairtending and magic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Company Midnight<\/strong> was founded in 2015 under the non-profit organization ShakeThat. It is the natural continuation of the long-standing collaboration between Simone Scaini and Joris Verbeeren. Their shared history within ShakeThat, a deep affection for the night, and an unhealthy amount of experimentation eventually led to the inevitable birth of this company.<br \/>\nJoris is an autodidact with a love of slapstick, manipulation of everyday objects and questionable late-night ideas. Simone is a slightly neurotic, self-taught \u201cMad Professor\u201d \u2014 obsessed with mechanics, precision and building things that probably shouldn\u2019t exist.<br \/>\nTogether they developed \u201cUS\u201d, a project in which they immersed themselves in knife throwing and methodically dismantled and rebuilt the discipline according to their own logic.<\/p>\n<p>Credits:<br \/>\nWith and by: Joris Verbeeren &amp; Simone Scaini<br \/>\nCoaching and outside eyes: Wennie Deruyck, Sander Decuyper, Maxime Dautremont, Hanne Vandersteene, Craig Weston<br \/>\nLight design: Seppe Brouckaert<br \/>\nSound: Mathias Hoste<br \/>\nTechnical support: Felix Repp, Emmanuele Marangon<br \/>\nFilming: Jakob Rosseel<br \/>\nResidencies: Transfo Labo, Cirkl Leuven, CC De Ververij, Transfo Zwevegem, Kunsten op Straat, Mira Miro, Perplx<br \/>\nWith the support of the Flemish Government<\/p>\n<p>Social<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063521228790<br \/>\ncompanymidnight.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company Midnight (Belgium)<br \/>20-21 June 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-edizione-2026","category-edizione-2026-spettacoli"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5821"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6025,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821\/revisions\/6025"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terminal-festival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
