There is no sign of God, but here and there we see dolls. Each of us is a character in someone else’s subjective reality. This is the thread running through We.art. dog.com. The performance is about nature and culture, death and life. Anyone who has ever seen Dimchev at work will know these are not just empty words.

Matijević and Chico give an associative view of how they experienced 1989, the year the Wall fell and the world was turned upside down. Their material consists of authentic and fictional audio documents either made in 1989 or related to it by content: pop songs, excerpts from radio and TV shows, private recordings and so on. This second part concentrates on sound.

This new circuit performance by the theatre-maker and artist Kris Verdonck exudes the atmosphere of Franz Kafka’s writing and of the German expressionist film. We recognise several of his recurring themes: the Unheimlichkeit of the world, the tension between man and machine, between the living being and dead material.

The Portuguese writer and theatre-maker Patricia Portela discovered a box containing the writings and designs of Acácio Nobre, an early 20th-century Portuguese member of the avant-garde whose name has been erased from the history books. Using a vintage typewriter and wireless keyboard she brings Nobre’s work back to life and so questions the collective memory of a nation.
