Is there such a thing as a ‘European cultural identity’? The Berlin-based theatre collective Rimini Protokoll juxtaposes this abstract idea with the individual nature of a private home. You sit at a table in someone’s living room, together with 14 strangers. Maps are unfolded, joint decisions made, problems solved. Personal stories and parliamentary rituals intermingle while you zigzag from country to country, from citizen to citizen, criss-crossing the entire continent.

Ylka and Thomas are having their house renovated. Two renovators have been at work for months, but the plans keep changing. The renovation becomes a metaphor for all the futile tinkering on a marriage that doesn’t work. De verbouwing is a sublime blend of humour and sorrow.

PERFORMATIK 2015 - Can a piece of choreography be executed in the same form, time, space and conditions of an exhibition? Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker reimagines Vortex Temporum for the radically different conditions of a museal space, i.e. WIELS. She rethinks the performance as a nine weeks long exhibition, continuously performed during regular opening hours. 

PERFORMATIK 2015 - In her work Grace Schwindt often deals with historical events and social relations. She also interweaves fiction and non-fiction. For Performatik 2015, Argos has selected recent works from their collection, which will be shown at their exhibition space. The new film Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society will be premiered at the Kaaistudios.
