Live Performances
OPENING PERFORMANCE

Reach by Karel van Laere with dancer Simon Bus
Karel van Laere's work lies at the intersection of live performance, film and visual art. The starting point for the performance Reach is his fascination for laparoscopic instruments which are used in surgery. To him, dissecting delicate objects with these instruments is an intimate and fragile process that conceals beauty as well as vulnerability. For this work, Karel enters into a dialogue with experimental hip hop dancer Simon Bus.
FOCUS: TAIWAN PERFORMANCE
Thursday 23rd of June at 19:40 | EYE Arena
Terminal Lucidity by Chen MingJou
Accompanying the special program Focus: Taiwan, the extract of the performance Terminal Lucidity by Chen MingJou is inspired by how corals glow yellow, purple and blue in the final stages of their lives due to environmental changes. Together with her dancers, they dive into this image and use our human bodies to explore if and where these practices align with our own.
