I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky.
I like to think (right now please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics where deer stroll peacefully past computers as if they were flowers with spinning blossoms.
I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving
How does a river flow and weave alliances between humans and other-than-humans? Do we need other ways of rendering care and enacting justice for the SZenne River? How do we co-create a living bill as a legitimate gesture of care with SZenne river and its allies?
STILL HERE – An alliance of care for the SZenne river is a new study case of Natural Contract Lab(NCL). A long-term artistic commitment between 2023-26 will enable the growing of a systemic relationship with the river’s ecosystem and local communities to weave an alliance of SZenne guardians with the ambition to co- create a Living Bill for the SZenne as an attempt for its legal recognition in the Belgian constitution. The project takes place across Wallonia, Brussels
The River and The Devil invites the audience into the ruins of a disappearing river.
During colonial times in the Bolivian Andean Plateau, the river Desaguadero and its uncontrollable forces were demonized as ‘the Devil’ by colonial settlers. Since then, centuries of extraction have dried up the river, transforming it from water to salt. In The River and The Devil, Paula Almiron reimagines the Devil not as a destructive force but as the guardian of the river, exploring resilience and the remnants of fragmented histories. The river has turned into broken pieces, hiding and moving towards us unannounced.

A mold refers to two very different things: it is a type of fungus but is also a hollow container to cast a specific form or pattern. As a fungus, a mold functions as a mycelial network that grows in ways that seem uncontrollable: connecting, colonizing, infecting, digesting, fruiting and producing spores. As a pattern, a mold is a matrix, a form that shapes malleable matters. MOLD wants to stage the conflict between spontaneous proliferation and casting, between two different logics in the same body.
Drawing on a variety of practices – mycology, fashion, fermentation, dance and sculpture – MOLD approaches the theater machine as a multiplicity of bodies. We want MOLD not only to be a performance but also a farm. An environment where dance, objects, audience, light, music, scents and costumes interact as living cultures. A garden dedicated to cultivating, abandoning, inoculating, braiding, duplicating, sprouting, warming up and decaying.

Spine Of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit is a performance that draws from individual and collective narratives to create an experience with sonic, visual, spatial and dancing elements.
Stanley Ollivier’s new work takes as a starting point the community building power of POC belonging spaces in order to reformulate familiar choreographic approaches. Together with performers Lily Brieu Nguyen and Mamadou Wagué, they explore everyday reality and social changes through a danced language that reflects the interrelations between the intimate, the body and the creation of a guarded, safe space.

In Something is Approaching, Carolina Mendonça investigates the notion of violence through writing and muscular rumination. What type of stories are stuck to our muscles that can be released by a bullet? Can our muscles dream of less violent narratives in a world that is collapsing?
After her previous work Zones of Resplendence focused on the imagination of an army that fights against sexual violence, some questions have become unavoidable and some practices seem to require more time. In Something is Approaching, Carolina and her team continue to speculate how choreography and body practices can be a form of self-defense, this time investigating the violence that is embedded in the social structure of the family.
a pulse with no body a sun with no sky is the new installation for the theater space of Ezra Veldhuis & Bosse Provoost. As in their previous projects SUN-SET (2020), Indoor Weather (2021) and All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (2023), they evoke a world with its own cosmology, constructed from light, sound and scenography.
In a pulse with no body a sun with no sky, Bosse and Ezra create a zone in which spectators are invited to let go of everyday modes of looking and thinking and open themselves to strange, unsuspected connections and affections between patches of light, patches of sound, bodies and devices. Spectators are seated on stage, which is spanned by an arc of light. A voice speaks and speculates about the sensory capacities and dreams of animals, from sponges to rats. For despite
