Za'atar Rain
Maybe it’s the fact that we sat next to each other,
the fact that I kept stumbling into her in the street, and in long unending corridors.
Maybe it didn’t even happen
A pigeon. A pita. And a girl.
Oh, and there’s also the border.
Now how do I get there?

Murder of an Apple.
An apple in a plastic bag. An apple in a sealed plastic bag. An apple in a sealed plastic bag with words, dates, and places on it. An apple in a sealed plastic bag with words, dates, and places on it, hanging from the ceiling. She chews on the plastic bag. She chews on the seal. She chews on the words, dates, and places. She needs the plastic bag to know the apple. She cannot know the apple with the plastic bag. An apple hanging from the ceiling.
SHI Rui, WU Lok Yee Alphina & YANG Zhiyan
House Taken Over
Live cinema performance combining multi-layered narrative and playing with the different perspectives through which we look at one thing. The performance plays with juxtaposition of the life seen through camera lens and human eye in an immersive journey into the relativity of size and scale.
Francine Kliemann & Pannaga Jois
Orchard
Orchard is a performer-activated installation that investigates how the body can stand apart from, and merge with, its environment. With the ever-present risk that performer activity might knock the one hundred vertically balanced poles to the floor, the piece is a movement exploration into how the human form can adapt to and overcome the constraints of its environment.
Elinor Lewis with Nuria Legarda Andueza.
All Things Considered and Incomplete
Brought together from across Europe, artists Beatrice Benedek, Konstantinos Foukis, Maud Lannen playfully and candidly improvise text, sound, movement and the occasional audience experiment in this playful performance. What happens when nothing happens? Or when it’s not working?
Beatrice Benedek, Konstantinos Foukis & Maud Lannen

things last (no) longer than the time it takes for them to happen
This work attempts to look into, through and beyond the English Channel | La Manche. Through framing, this space in between is reimagined and other layers are unfolded and revealed. The edges on either side become stages from which to contemplate the time, space and distance in-between. Now but then, near but far, connected but apart.
