4 x Work In Progress – 03.12 @ Campo
Rabina Miya – Fnuiken What if we could fly? What is holding us back? I, too, have wings. But what if my wings are snubbed? Inhibited in growth? How do you address that?
Inspired by her family history, Rabina Miya creates a surreal world in which performers Berthe Kilozo and Thao Quyen Ha search for their wings. A dance performance about vulnerability, recovery and transformation.

Gloria Boateng & Jade Wheeler – The Promised Boom What is the Belgian dream? Does it actually exist? Belgium, Flanders, Boom…! Waking up hungover in the most idyllic place in the world. What if the rose-colored glasses are slowly fading? And invades reality? Gloria Boateng and Jade Wheeler take you from Tomorrowland to the Department of Integration and IntegratIon. The Promised Boom: an anti-dream.

Tister Ikomo – Nzela Na Ngai’ / My Trail In this triptych, you will travel with me from Kinshasa “La Belle” to Belgium. A dance performance about trials, transformation and struggle for recognition.
