SOLAR - Emil Aron Dorph

I am walking and I am sweating; there is sweat on my face. The psyche unfolds, like a flower, spreading its petals and allowing itself to be traversed by the landscape in which it grows. Like a pattern on a larger tapestry. Endless weavings, warmth and night, a particular frequency of light. We are never truly alone.

SOLAR is a wild adventure, a hallucinated road trip and a cosmic journey into the reptilian mind. It's a story of longing for the sun, only to rush into darkness like an animal. 

MOVING OUT - Sarah Ringoet

we are moving we are moved by you we are moving on we are moving out

This performers' portrait is the result of two weeks of rehearsals, during which Giari Knaapen and Jonathan Vermeiren, directed by Sarah Ringoet, focus on defining themselves as performers.

Free in-and-out access in Frascati 3 between 8:00 and 9:00 PM starting Thursday, April 16th:

FRESH - Noa Azkargorta Cabacés

In the harshness of existence, I retreat into my body, which, despite being captive to ‘the need to be...’ seeks an escape to find the here and now. I am asked to clean my instinct. I am observed, analyzed, presented, projected... While I inhabit a space of precarious scent, dressed in intimacy.
