Eurudike De Beul (°1964) vocals, direction, soundscape, visuals  

After completing her studies in social nursing and earning a master’s degree in biomedical sciences, Eurudike began her training at the conservatories of Liège and Mons under José Van Dam, Greta Dereyghere, and Marianne Pousseur. She earned an advanced degree with honors and received the Guns-Defrêne Prize. She furthered her training with Kammersängerin Ute Trekel Bruckhardt in Berlin and completed internships with Mark Deller, Michaël Chance, and Zeger Vandersteene. Her voice evolved from a light Baroque voice (including the role of Fairy in The Fairy Queen with the Dellerconsort) to that of a mezzo-soprano.  

She made her debut as a soloist in Italian and English Baroque repertoire. 

At the age of 30, Eurudike found her first true calling with Alain Platel (Les Ballets C de la B). Platel’s outsider’s perspective on theater opened up new horizons. Afterward, Eurudike worked with directors and companies such as Theu Boerman (Theatercompagnie Amsterdam), David Miller, Judith Vindevogel (Walpurgis), François de Carpenterie and Dagmar Pischel, Cathy Boyd (Theatre Cryptic, Scotland), Josse De Pauw, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, Maribeth Diggle (Opera Vlaanderen), Wouter Deltour, Zefiro torna, Kris Verdonck, Viktoria, Toneelhuis, Transparant, Lod, Arsenaal, Gökhan Girginol, Dahlia Pesseniers, Veroline Vanderbeek, Carly Wijs, Nadar Pieter Matthijnssens’s “Mauthausenlieder” tour, Graindelavoix, and international festivals and venues including the Berlin and Salzburg Festivals, Thuringian Bach Weeks, Festival Mulhouse, Le Grand Théâtre de Genève, Theater Basel.

In 2000, a project in collaboration with Nathalie de Briey, St.-Kilda , was selected for The Year of the Artist and shebecame a founding member of the Peeping Tom collective. With Peeping Tom, she created about 15 productions.  To date, she has performed in 800 shows worldwide with Peeping Tom alone.  

Her soundscapes can also be heard in A Louer , Vader , The Land , Triptych , and Jean-Marc , a collaboration with Hunmok Jung.

Among her opera roles, she has sung Azucena in Il Trovatore (Verdi), Madalena and Giovanna in Rigoletto , Miss Quickly in Falstaff (Verdi), Messaghiera in Orfeo (Monteverdi), the Preacher in Welp by Johan De Smet, the Mother in Les Noces (Stravinsky), Baba in The Medium (G.C. Menotti), Dido and The Sorceress (Purcell), and Clytaemnestra in Electra (David Paul Jones). She was also selected for the chorus of the Bayreuth Festival.  

With the non-profit organization KoudVuur, as an artist-in-residence at Walpurgis and CC Sint-Niklaas, she directed and created experimental performances, solos, and compositions/soundscapes in which the voice, in all its possible expressions, takes center stage. Her work, which often involves specific target audiences, explores themes of powerlessness, loneliness, connection, and comfort.  

Eurudike can also be heard as a soloist on albums by Graindelavoix, FES, Muziek LOD, Walpurgis, Bart van Hecke (Klara Music Prize), Puzzle, and radio plays (Geroezemoes). 

She teaches at RITCS and the Sint-Pieters Woluwe Academy. As a voice coach, she works or has worked with Les Ballets C de la B, Walpurgis, and has led workshops on dynamic voice coaching both domestically and abroad (France, Germany, Scotland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Japan), as well as on theater productions and with individual young artists. In 2023, she earned a postgraduate degree in SPP (somato-psychopedagogy, aspects of fascial therapy). She is developing a phenomenological approach to breath and voice based on brain function (PPS—predictive processing system), fascial therapy, and the importance of language and instructions. Together with her students, she continually challenges pedagogical frameworks, vocal disciplines, and genres.
