Miet Warlop
Ghost Writer and the Broken Hand Break

Balancing a fine line between keeping control and losing it, three performers constantly twirl around like dervishes. A performance that is dance, recital and concert all at once, and that will keep you thrilled from start to finish.

Stav Yeni
The Senders

A performance where you get to lie down on a set of pillows. Choreographer Stav Yeini collaborated on this project with a videographer, a fermentation expert and a sound artist. Expect all your senses to open up; to experience reality in unperceived ways.

Nazanin Fakoor
Rainbow

We are the result of endless reflections, like a rainbow. Inspired by The Conference of the Birds by Persian poet Farid ud-Din Attar, artist Nazanin Fakoor reflects on the myth of a single national identity, while celebrating diversity.

We Do Matter

In We Do Matter, one performer breaks a rock using a chisel, a hammer and his hands. The other glues the broken rock together again with polyurethane. Their work is both performance and installation, where human and matter forge a new connection.
