In 1999, they created a first location project set in a trailer home, called Caravana, with mezzo-soprano Eurudike De Beul.
In 2013, Gabriela Carrizo created The Missing Door for Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT I), and in 2015, she directed The Land for the Residenztheater in Munich.
In 2020, the three previously mentioned pieces created at NDT were re-imagined as Triptych: The Missing Door, The Lost Room, and The Hidden Floor.
In 2021, Chartier created Dido & Aeneas, Peeping Tom's first opera, in collaboration with Emmanuelle Haïm’s Le Concert d’Astrée for the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
It came from their first performance, Caravana, during which the audience would look through the windows of the camping car..[1] In a portrait for Contemporary Arts from Flanders, theatre scientist Lieve Dierckx described it as: "[...]the organic interweaving between the daily life of the performers and their artistic work, a zoom in on fears and fantasies in relational constellations that are as familiar as they are intimate in hyper-realistic stage sets.
"[2] In addition, "Peeping Tom does not narrate specific stories that have a clear beginning, development, and end, in their works; they create fragmentary and irrational worlds as one can experience in dreams.
"[3] To create their work, Peeping Tom also uses cinematographic techniques, including sound, lights, and zoom from the camera.
According to Lieve Dierckx, "In thematic terms this trilogy forms a house in which the performers take on the battle with the baggage they bring with them.".
Le Salon was created in 2004 by Carrizo, Chartier, and Versnel, with Mezzo-Soprano Eurudike De Beul and dancer Samuel Lefeuvre joining the cast.
The first trilogy was closed by Le Sous Sol, which included Carrizo, Chartier, Lefeuvre, De Beul, and Spanish Butoh-dancer Maria Otal.
In 2009, Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier left the stage and focused on the artistic direction of Peeping Tom and on co-directing their new pieces.
[9] In an interview with Luxemburg newspaper Le Quotidien, Chartier describes it as putting an address to the house of the previous trilogy, and the show is about how we act outside, how people live in a closed community and what happens when two strangers arrive to this village.
The piece addresses the theme of transience: a fading but talented opera diva wanders around in an overwhelming interior and struggles with the expectations of a bourgeois environment.
Franck Chartier directed Vader, with Gabriela Carrizo working alongside him as directorial assistant and dramaturge.
[16] The piece is set in the visiting area of a retirement home, whose towering walls accentuate the fact that the action takes place deep underground.
At the centre of this netherworld, somewhere between the world of the living and the dead, stands the figure of the father, who seems to be distancing himself gradually from the human community.
His fading is drawn, not from the story of one individual, but from the mythology of the father, and in scenes that explode into action, and just as suddenly stop, this figure appears at once as God-like and ridiculous, as possessed of a rich mental life, and as disconnected, decaying, empty.
The idea of a museum is in particular a reference to my mother's funeral, where we had exhibited paintings.."[1] Moeder had its world premiere on 29 September 2016 in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
[26] Since 2013, choreographers Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier have opened up to collaborations with other companies, aside from their work with Peeping Tom.
In 2013, Gabriela Carrizo was invited to make a first short piece with the dancers of NDT I at Nederlands Dans Theater.
While soundscapes of everyday sounds turn into lost rhythms, the man performs a lonely battle with time, space, and those who are absent.
[28] Franck Chartier returned to Nederlands Dans Theater in 2017, to create the short piece The hidden floor.
In 2013, Franck Chartier went to the Göteborg Opera in Sweden to work on an adaptation of Peeping Tom's original piece, 32 Rue Vandenbranden.
[33] In 2015, Peeping Tom collaborated with Residenz Theater in Germany and made The Land, directed by Gabriela Carrizo.
A story rich in paradoxes unravels, revolving around the notions of inconsistency and alienation, proximity and distance whilst toying with the way we perceive the world around us.
[34] Peeping Tom's first opera project was directed in 2021 by Franck Chartier[35] for the Grand Théâtre de Genève, in collaboration with Le Concert d'Astrée.
Their personal lives provide insight into ageing in their countries and create a dialogue with what Peeping Tom presents on stage.
[36] Peeping Tom was invited to develop a project as Artist in Residence for the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp (KMSKA).
