Peter Missotten is a versatile artist. He is an acclaimed<br />
scenographer and the producer of theatre plays and<br />
performances, working with video, motion picture<br />
and interactive media. In 1994, Missotten co-founded<br />
De Filmfabriek, taking up artistic leadership of this<br />
artists collective involved with the realisation of<br />
digital media art projects. Missotten produced two<br />
video installations in collaboration with An-Marie<br />
Lambrechts and Anne Quirynen. Together they also produced a digital motion<br />
picture in 1997, The Way of the Weed, in collaboration with the Frankfurt Ballet<br />
and William Forsythe. Since 1982, Missotten has been involved in a number of<br />
performances directed by Guy Cassiers, making designs for a.o. Grondbeginselen<br />
(1990), de Wespenfabriek (2000), ‘Onegin’ (2007). The performance Bezonken<br />
Rood’(2004) for which he designed the video decor, was selected for the Festival<br />
d’Avignon in 2006. Together with Kurt d’Haeseleer, Missotten designed the video<br />
decor for two operas by Georges Aperghis: Paysage sous Surveillance (2003) and<br />
Avis de Tempète (2004). After this, several commissions for the design of opera<br />
decors under the direction of Guy Cassiers followed: Rage D’amour (2005) and De<br />
Vliegende Hollander (2005). More recently Missotten has been making a number of<br />
cross-over performances. The Waste Land (2007) for Toneelhuis has been selected<br />
for the Holland Festival 2008. Alongside working as a director at Toneelhuis<br />
until 2010, he has directed several opera creations: Kepler (2009) by Philip Glass<br />
at Linz09 and Montezuma - Fallender Adler (2010) by Bernhard Lang at the<br />
