Y: SLOW TV Cinema
Y Events / Divadlo X / Homo Novus / SPRING
Sat May 17 11:00 to Sun May 18 11:00
24 films by 24 artists from different fields, screened back-to-back in a sleepover cinema setup. Artists challenge their usual production methods, creating footage with minimal content, simplified composition, and limited plot. Now, we invite you to challenge your viewing habits, embrace the passage of time, and enjoy the beauty of wasted time.
HOT WALK
Keren Levi - NeverLike
Sun May 25 15:00 & 19:00
An interdisciplinary performance exploring climate change, aging, and parenthood. What if global warming is Earth’s own menopause? How do power, responsibility, and care shift between humankind and Mother Earth? Can you take a walk in the park—on stage—with a friend? A reflection on the transformations shaping both our inner and outer climates.
RUNNER
Ira Brand / Frascati Producties
Fri May 23 20:30 and Sat May 24 15:30
RUNNER takes place simultaneously in the theatre and on the streets of Utrecht. It explores the exhaustion of the body, both physically and socio-politically. Why do we value people when they push themselves to the limit? The audience is invited to accompany Ira Brand as she runs outside, searching for a place, knowledge, or perhaps herself.
Magic Maids
Eisa Jocson & Venuri Perera
Thu May 22 19:00 and Fri May 23 18:30
With the symbolic presence of a broom centrally on stage, this performance, filled with dance and spells, unexpectedly interconnects the figures of the witch and the maid, reflecting on (and inviting the audience to reflect on) the everlasting chain of migrant labour, the exploitation of labour, and bodies. A new production by Eisa Jocson, who concluded SPRING last year with The Filipiono Superwoman Band.
Me, Le Corbusier, and a friend
David Bergé / Time Based Editions
Thu May 29 18:00 and 19:30, Fri May 30 15:00 and 18:00 and Sat May 31 13:30 and 16:00
After the success of Borderline Visible in 2024, the next edition of Time Based Editions will be presented at SPRING. A printed book and a soundscape come together in a temporary community. The audio guides you through mesmerizing photos and the story of two young men, one on his way to become later the architect Le Corbusier, on a seven-month journey to ‘the Orient’ in 1911.

Sat May 24 14:00 and at 17:30 and Sun May 25 13:30 and at 18:00
A performance within an installation, somewhere between a garden, a hospital, and a graveyard. Two young people intertwine the lives of their families. Amidst an archive of personal documents collected over the years, they navigate the landscape of loss.
Modesta (play of language & lips)
Anna Franziska Jäger & Nathan Ooms / CAMPO
Tue May 27 20:30 and Wed May 28 19:00
A playful and poetic performance about growing up and finding your place in the world. Inspired by the book The Art of Joy by Goliarda Sapienza, five performers follow Modesta, a woman who bends the rules to her will. Through language, movement, and imagination, the question arises: how free can we truly be?
While Taking Shape
Amparo González Sola
Sat May 24 21:00 and Sun May 25 19:30
How much of what happens in one body is connected to what happens in another? Through a choreography that frames the space between performers and audience and focuses on small gestures, this performance invites us to reconsider the dynamics of gaze, distance, and proximity, and the role they play in spaces where we observe.
