UNIQUE EN SON GENRE
20/03/2021 — 21/03/2021
21/03/2021 — 22/03/2021
A drag queen, a drag king, a book, an attentive child and an adult by its side.
How can we reflect on the notion of gender through literature, music, poetry, words and colours when we are still young? They don't change their skin to enchant us, they just change their costume. How to approach these complex subjects when you still have a lot of glitter in your eyes? Well, it depends.

FELIX KINDERMANN
CHOIR PIECE
11/10/2020 — 12/10/2020
In staging the choir Ghent Singers as a moving sculpture, Felix Kindermann‘s Choir Piece questions our relationship with the term togetherness, mirroring today‘s Zeitgeist along with its societal distortions. Through rearrangement, fragmentation, and techniques of acoustic distortion, the work creates a feeling of alienation, destabilizing the interrelated appearance and effect of the choir as a familiar cultural asset, blurring the lines which are dissolved through the play with essential opposites like harmony and disharmony, the individual and the collective.

Opening the frame of the screen to the frame of the stage, singer Emma Daumas and musician Jean Thevenin invite visitors into a renewed experience of the work to the rhythm of multiple sounds.
