QUARANTEENS @ KANAL: DANCE BATTLE OF THE QUARANTEENS!

17/02/2021 — 18/02/2021

21/02/2021 — 22/02/2021

The gloves really come off between parents and children during the "Battle of the Quaranteens". Collaboration is off the cards – just the opposite actually! Children and parents face and challenge each other in a freestyle dance battle!

But first, let’s discover the wonderful world of John M Armleder together during a guided tour and take inspiration from his works. After the tour, parents and children will head off independently, each working with their own freestyle performer.

WORK-IN-PROGRESS / PROTOTYPE

In Rainbow, Nazanin Fakoor explores the theme of ‘identity’, both from her personal experience as an artist with roots in Iran, Germany and Belgium, and from a universal human perspective. For her, identity is fluid and by definition multiple. The rainbow from the title symbolises the many layers that shape our human existence.

Lecture on Nothing, John Cage

15/10/2020 — 16/10/2020

Non-conformist as he was, John Cage chose to turn a lecture about his music into a work that is not even a lecture (at the most, it keeps up appearances) and is not even about his music. "Nothing" is literally the most important subject, in a text in which Cage collects anecdotes, makes references to Zen Buddhism (which he was deeply involved in at the time) and above all plays an amusing game with the audience's expectations.

I...Cognitive maps - Chapter 1 - Ely Daou

29/05/2019 — 31/05/2019

What do you remember about a room? Or about an apartment or space you lived in, but which no longer exists or where you never went back to. In I... Cognitive Maps - Chapter 1 artist Ely Daou, born in Beirut in 1986, travels through his memory – and history – attempting to sketch the different apartments and living spaces he occupied during and just after the Lebanese Civil War. The architectural details – as they are remembered or perhaps transformed by the artist’s memory – become the starting points for re-entering both the spaces and the past. I...
