WORKS IN PROGRESS

Mimi Wascher – Dreaming in Blue

14:00-14:30

For Dreaming in Blue Mimi creates a shapeshifting world in which different matters (human and non-human) are seeking companionship, try to merge with each other and are robbed of their identity. With humour and abstraction, as well as the poetic and feminist ideas proposed by Maggie Nelson in Bluets, Mimi explores how the color blue can become a space to escape from codified identity and simplification, and instead make room for the complexity of our needs and desires. “But what goes on in you when you talk about colour as if it were a cure, when you have not yet stated your disease.” (M. Nelson - Bluets)

​

Pierre Bastin - Porous

15:00-15:50

‘Porous’ draw inspiration from different aspects of ecological movements. From exploring ideas coming out of the book ‘Manière d’être vivant’ of Baptiste Morizot to using our experiences within civil disobedience actions, this duet explores how we can relate in a world that lost its sensitivity. By exploring on how we can connect with ourselves and with others, we explore different ways that are existing to find sensitivity and knowledge. In Porous written text and movement are used, trying to make sense of an unreadable future.

 

Arthur Decock - LIEF (VIERLUIK 2)

17:00-17:50

There is no more humane act than entering into a love relationship. There is nothing more beautiful, nothing more intense, and nothing more intrinsically scary than opening one's own person to another, hoping to find "completeness" in merging with that other. One and one makes two, and two is complete. What does it mean on a fundamental level to enter into a relationship? What makes us long all our lives for that complete merging with another person? And what does it mean when we do? In LOVE (part two of a four-part series of monologues about the fundamental human emotions), love is cast into language, in all its chaotic, raw, dirty, sticky and warm completeness.

​Carla Parcianello – WHACK NOT?! (working title)

18:30-19:00

Let your intrusive thoughts go. Why not?! Whack not? The piece presents a physically exhausting journey of rediscovery through the club style called Whacking. Two dancers move through the depths of the space in an attempt to find their identities and write the biography of their friendship.
