The invisible artists

The recent budget cuts that the Flemish culture sector is facing have been sold as an inevitable consequence of the financial crisis. However, the actual political climate is a far more decisive factor. Something similar happened in Portugal, and look how unpaid has become the new black for artists there.

State of the Theatre

Windows without curtains

Opening Speech for the National Dutch Theatre Festival by Thomas Oberender on September 4th.Some years ago, I was a dramaturg at the Schauspielhaus Bochum and later in Zurich, the German production system made me feel increasingly uneasy. I felt that its terminology, which I had grown up with and was using as a matter of habit, didn’t seem to grasp what was suddenly emerging in the late 1990s and the fresh first decade of the new millennium. I started speaking of a “Theatre of the Day” and a “Theatre of the Night”.

Flatland

Op het dansfestival Amperdans bracht Patricia Portela een performance die bestond uit een multimediale stroom van gedachten, quotes en beelden. In Flatland manoeuvreert zij het publiek in een merkwaardige positie: de voorstelling ontstaat in de waarneming van de toeschouwer. Over de evolutie van een Flatland-bewoner naar een 3D-bestaan. Een neerslag van de hand van de artieste.
