Once a month during openoffice we throw open the doors or our workings, each time at a different cultural location in Brussels. Everyone who is looking for advice on projects in the performing arts, or who would like to exchange experiences, is welcome. We discuss specific themes during an information session/workshop and then organise a moment for all possible questions. Keep an eye on our agenda or facebook page for new dates!

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...
As part of our plan to join forces with other smaller organisations to reach programmers in an efficient and sustainable way, we devised Filling the Gaps in 2025 in collaboration with AnAku. An evening where programmers and artists from both Hiros and AnAku come together around a table full of food. The focus is on an informal and relaxed get-together, rather than pitches, showings or official panels. The first edition took place on 28 January 2026.

Basically is an ongoing live project. It utilizes the exhibition space as a hybrid production space and playground; a context to practice and perform within. Basically is structured as a choreographic game in which multiple performers hold the rules of the game constant, incorporating visitors in visible and invisible ways. The work is governed by the formal rules as well as by the subjective interpretations that occur in interactions with and between the participating artists and visitors. The creation and re-creation of the environment is...
In the midst of a genocidal present and an uncertain future, Stephanie Kayal and Abed Kobeissy revisit their failed crime-fighting power couple from their recent work Galactic Crush Part 1. After completely botching their Don Quixotic mission, the two protagonists face total despair and decide to flee their homeland. They build a DIY intergalactic spaceship and take off in search of hope in another galaxy.
Confronting their protagonists with a harsh gaze, Kayal and Kobeissy question the ethics surrounding such a decision at a time when an...

STILL HERE: Living Preamble is a new phase of the alliance of care for the SZenne River. In this next chapter, Natural Contract Lab envisions to embed a deeply felt sense of responsibility as Szenne stewards into a creative legal framework that can contribute to contemporary legal practices.
The Living Preamble is an embodied process emerging from the river and its kin — a proposal for an embodied law that transforms the concept from a static legal document into a layered and hybrid experience, reflecting what the more-than-human...

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...

Like is an experimental video game merging documentary live footage and a playable, digital environment. The installation includes an embroidered couch, keyboard, and gamepad. Its narrative world emerges from Basically, focusing on the “coming-of-age” years and the educational institution; the ecstasy of exercising our agency and the horrors of self-consciousness, self-criticality, and navigating social expectations.
The game touches on a shared, yet unromanticized nostalgia, the grit and the mania; the desperate acts of teen...

Imagine a sci-fi world shaped by the musical genre of reggaeton, the urban dance perreo, the linguistic experience of everyday life through a limited understanding of English, and the historical connection of Central America with the export of exotic fruits.
This is the world that Flesh can’t can’ t not’t ‘tis flesh h… invokes, a multisensory performance that mixes live music, projection of text, dance and sculpture. Two burning bodies guide us through the landscapes of a foreign world, to explore the bittersweet ventures of the Global South-Global North migration, and to trace part of the histories found in the Central American region.

In campfire, Bosse Provoost & Ezra Veldhuis take us onto the stage, where we find ourselves immersed in a bath of sound and light.
We listen in on a conversation taking place beneath a strange constellation, and traverse various environments – or is it always the same space, yet experienced differently each time?
Between the field of vision of a shrimp, the wandering arms of an octopus and the interior of a womb, a field of perspectives opens up. Ancient animal paintings, firing synapses and out-of-body experiences pass by...
