Biography
Flamand founded the Plan K contemporary dance company in 1973. From 1979, it occupied a former sugar refinery in Molenbeek. He was interested in interdisciplinary work and hosted artists such as Bob Wilson, William S. Burroughs, Steve Lacy, Decouflé, Marie Chouinard, Joy Division, and the Eurythmics.
As director and choreographer, Flamand worked with many architects, including Fabrizio Plessi, Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Thom Mayne, and more recently, Dominique Perrault and the Campana brothers, working to connect the dancer's body to the surrounding architecture.

The work has a winged dancer crossing the stage wearing video monitors as shoes.
