Hannah Jamin Zaouad

How to say “come back“? is a poetic documentary theater performance about the new, old and returning faces of the Rif (Morocco), the land of Hannah‘s ancestors. Which examines how the encroaching hospitality-industry is reshaping the region’s landscape and identity. The Rif is shown as a place-in-transit: between borders, between languages – Dutch, French, Spanish, […]

Misha Demoustier

We move through the world next to one another — bodies in transit, brushing past each other in shared space — each of us carrying invisible loads. And yet, we rarely pause to witness or acknowledge the internal states of those around us. We avoid. We protect ourselves. We retreat into the self. But what […]

Amina Abouelghar

Birds Cries is a dance performance that begins with the desire to collaborate—with other bodies and other rhythms. Using familiar concepts of rhythmic systems, Amina explores how rhythmic patterns guide and control the body, evoke memories, and shape behavior. Together with other dancers on stage, she creates a new soundscape that reinterprets old sounds, unravels […]

leïla alice

In Lilo Soleil, leïla alice creates a sensory universe in which poetry, music, makeup and scenography merge into an intimate ritual.

The body becomes a canvas, the voice an archive, and the […]

Fanny Van Geel, Xavier Bascho-George & Claire Deniau

One Look is a multidisciplinary performance where dance (hip-hop, krump, tricking ánd flamenco influences), voice and classical piano enter into dialogue. The gaze is central: as the interface between people, as a window into each other’s worlds, as a mirror of what we sometimes prefer to hide … In a playful exchange of each other’s […]

Aline Olmos Steler

Trilogy of Satiety: Part 1 – The Rediscovery of the Future – Oracular Practices In the first chapter of her Trilogy of Satiety, Aline Olmos Steler seeks oracular insights in a place we rarely look: vaginal discharge.

Nazanin Bahrami

Speech Lapse: Exhibition No. 4 was created in response to the “Woman – Life – Freedom” uprising that began in Iran in September 2022. The project tracks the written aftershocks of protest: diary excerpts, coded chat logs, notes at the edge of receipts, time-coded transcripts of spoken texts. Every document carries risk and offers resistance […]
