IN, Kris Verdonck
Performed by Heike Langsdorf & Gilles Polet
In IN (2003) a performer remains motionless in a display window filled with water. The distortion to the performers' senses caused by the environment causes a state of trance. The sounds of breathing and movement are amplified by microphones.
« Kris Verdonck's imagery originates from an extreme theatrical simplicity and only gradually unveils its staggering power » - Elke Van Campenhout in De Standaard
« This play has been extremely minimized, to the point of being made up of equal parts absence and presence, as a result of which the spectator is expected to put in a corresponding amount of effort. Magical, bizarre, oppressing and seductive » - Marie Baudet in La Libre Belgique
