WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Kasper Vandenberghe climbs on a scaffolding clad in a protective suit and then drops down like a rock. It is calculated recklessness. It is a poetic search for how vulnerable we can still allow ourselves to be and how we can understand vulnerability as a force. It is dancing on the loose rope between two deeply human desires: the desire for balance versus a bottomless leap into the unknown.

WORKING TITLE FESTIVAL — Hidden at the basement of workspacebrussels, lies Kosi Hidama’s atelier. Occupying the space over the past few years, his work slowly started invading all the other spaces of the building. With Garden of solid subtleness Kosi will create an interior summer garden with the ceramics he produced at his basement atelier, in combination with subtle sounds. The artist invited his friend Misha Downey to work with him on this pottery landscape.

On the final performance day of the 2018-2019 season, we fire up the barbecue, invite Sinister Sister for a contemporary rendition of Béla Bartók's music, and finally give DJ Bob van Langendonck carte blanche at the decks. What's not to love?

Blind Spot is a quest to find what scarce traces remain of Epp Kotkas, an Estonian artist who was active in the experimental dance scene of New York in the 60s and 70s.

The Monastery invites you to dive into the Bardo States: liminal moments between living and dying, in or out of your body, where you balance on the edge of the unknown. 

This interactive installation, somewhere between documentary and fiction, takes as its starting point intimate tales of first sexual experiences in times of war and peace in the Middle East. The work is based on testimonies from several generations of citizens from Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, adults’ memories of their teenage years.

104,5° is the angle formed in a water molecule, between the two hydrogen atoms, and the oxygen atom H-O-H. The Breadth of 104.5° is the umbrella title over an ongoing series of works by the artist, dedicated to exploring the ideas and notions around the essentiality of one of the most, if not the most, important element for the existence of life as we know it.

The THING is back! This automated and hybrid form consists of four episodes, in between performance, workshop, and journey. The only ones present are you, a group of 8 to 12 people who open a suitcase and follow a wild mix of different triggers as a guide. Make a leap of faith!

During four amazing workshops – on location at Globe Aroma and at the Kaaistudios – a new show will be created in only one day. Are you most interested in costumes and masks, swinging dance moves, accompanying music or would you prefer to build the set? 

With a role of tape and a magic lantern, the children in PLAKFILM gauge the turbulence of our age. They roll out transparent tape in the streets where they grew up. When they strip the tape away, an imprint of the city comes with it: dust, sand, candy wrappers, insects, glass, bits of fluff…
