Programme
Mthuthuzeli November's Wailers
Wailers is a work that gives thanks to life. To its struggles, beauty and its people. Those with us and no longer with us. It is a prayer for guidance.
Stina Quagebeur's Nostalgia
Nostalgia captures that bittersweet emotion. A state of longing, poignancy, a piercing joy as well as an acute awareness of passing time. It recognises the light and dark, it’s a quiet force that transforms our pain and connects us together.
Dickson Mbi's Ma Vie
Ma Vie explores Giacomo Casanova's thirst for love, his complex relationship with the church and his eventual downfall as written in his infamous memoir 'Histoire de ma vie'.
Ma Vie contains strobe lighting.
