Enter another world totally foreign to you and live an unforgettable experience, where plastic lives and plants look at you.
Sunday, March 13 >> SINBAD (7+) by Mohanad Mukhtar & kunstZ – Rataplan, Borgerhout
A performance by Mohanad Mukhtar about Sinbad, a boy from Baghdad who celebrates his birthday for the first time in a new country. Sinbad is very curious and a little nervous about the party. After all, how do you prepare a birthday party without parents and family around you? After the performance, children are invited to celebrate together, share stories, dance, sing and snack too!
Thursday, March 24 >> DE EIGEN LEGENDE by Mike De Ridder – OC NOVA, Antwerp Kiel
April 2020. Lockdown. Contact with the outside world is mainly digital. Mike Pro, of necessity, engages in conversation with himself. He tries to deal with the silences and his own thinking. But what is that thinking? To what extent is that determined by our origins, upbringing and our own choices…Moving between choices and expectations, we sometimes feel forced to pigeonhole. Or can we still escape this? Using all the tools of the Internet, Mike Pro makes his way through the mystical branches of the world’s religions. Instead of listening to what others say about spirituality, he explores for himself in his YouTube lab. A must-see for young people ages 14 and up!
Friday, March 25 >> WIPCOOP Sessions (show moments) with Anna Borodikhina (14+) & Nela Deleu – Rataplan, Borgerhout
> NIEMANDSLAND takes you back and forth between the past and the present to land while dancing to Anna Borodikhina’s inner melody. Anna raps, sings, plays and talks about how she moves in a world in which she does not feel herself at home. Her parents fled Kazakhstan with her as a three-year-old for political reasons. Interesting show moment to see with youngsters as young as 14!
> Nela Deleu reveals a monologue in documentary form with VLAMINGO, a specifically intimate and recognizable love story. Nela moved 5 years ago from Bosnia-Herzegovina – where she was a professional actress and known as Nela Djenisijevic – to Belgium for love.
