Klei
In an unpredictable landscape of ten tons of clay, body and music merge. Klei is a sensory search for the primal connection between human and earth, in all its beauty, struggle, and wonder. An invitation to return to the essence: How do we relate to our bodies? And to the land we inhabit? Immerse yourself.
For KLEI Zoro Feigl has created an earthy and unpredictable clay landscape. Within it, the performers of Schweigman& surrender to the rhythm, the vibration, the weight, and the transience of the clay. At times, body and clay merge, feeling safe and familiar. At others, it becomes a struggle as the greater forces of the landscape seem to take over. Percussionists from HIIIT play ceramic instruments by Gemma Luz Bosch, creating a sonic world of clay and water.
Klei is an exploration of the ancient connection between humans and clay, in all its beauty, struggle, and wonder. The performance is an invitation to return to the essence. How do we relate to our bodies? And to the land on which we live?
“This time calls for us to come together, to listen to what wants to be heard and felt from the underlying layers of our existence. How do we learn to listen again to the signals of our bodies and of the earth?” – Boukje Schweigman
Allow yourself to be immersed in this musical and sensory world of clay.

The quiet
Anthony van Gog
Wed May 20 21:00, Thu May 21 19:00, Fri May 22 16:00
What happens when a body is no longer required to perform, but simply allowed to be? In this performative installation, three performers lie on an elevated platform. They breathe, tremble and tense. Through subtle sound and intimate lighting, minimal movements become tangible. Not a conventional performance, but a quiet, sensory experience of the body in its purest form.
Work Body
Michael Turinsky
Tue May 19 20:30 & Wed May 20 19:00
This performance explores what it means to be a worker nowadays, and which bodies are allowed to represent the working class. Through singing, text, and dance, a body often pushed to the margins claims space on stage. Raw, energetic, and politically charged, the dance becomes an act of resistance.
SHRINE
Khadija El Kharraz Alami
Sun May 17 19:30
A compelling performance about grief, rage, and radical resistance. After her mother is brutally murdered by 'the system,' the battle-worn Daughter seeks refuge with the Jinns—non-human beings from a parallel world. In their SHRINE, her anger and sorrow are given the space to exist. It is a place of remembrance, prayer, sacrifice, and celebration. El Kharraz Alami takes us into a world where past, present, and future converge.
