Peter Missotten (°Hasselt 1963) trained as a video artist (one of the first students of Chris Dercon at St. Lukas Brussels). He worked all of his life in and around theatre spaces - starting as light designer for ‘The Cement Garden’ in 1983. This started a long and passionate stage designer relationship with Guy Cassiers, which went on and off during some 25 years (Wasp Factory, Sunken Red, Rage d’Amour, Fliegende Holländer, Onegin... to name just a few).
In 1994 he founded de Filmfabriek with Anne Quirynen and Anne Heyman. A company with a mission in the crossover between digital and performance arts. They worked intensively on projects with artists as William Forsythe, Wim Vandekeybus, Guy Cassiers and Georges Aperghis. Artists as Wies Hermans, Bram Smeyers, Kurt d’Haeseleer and Ief Spincemaille joined them over the years.
From 2000 on, Peter Missotten evolved slowly from a designer of digital media art for the stage into a director for performance arts and opera productions. In 2009, he directed the world creation of 'KEPLER', an opera by Philip Glass for Linz09 at the Landestheater Linz. In 2010 he created 'MONTEZUMA - FALLENDER ADLER', an opera by Bernhard Lang, for the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Nowadays he specialices in contemporary opera creations and radical performance projects. He teaches performance arts at the Toneelacademie Maastricht.
