Excited to share that we are bringing our Fest en Fest – LAB project to ’s BASTARD festival in collaboration with

We’re curating three discursive brunches that centre on conviviality—as a way to gather, think, and challenge the structures we live and work within. 🍽️

We’ve situated the conversations in the social space of the brunch table, where knowledge, ideas, and practices are shared horizontally. Where choreography becomes a way of being together: in unison, in dissidence, in the messiness of trying and failing, shifting and staying.

Join us for an off-score choreography of thought, laughter, failure, and community.

Vi & Oss & Andre is an interactive performance for children aged 9-12. Different groups of children occupy the stage space wearing headphones where they are instructed live by two adult performers. They are led through a series of choreographed meetings based on seeing and being together, creating shapes and movements - sometimes alone and other times in groups and pairs. Choosing how they respond they will together create a spontaneous choreography. The children become the performers of the work and go through different stages where they will observe, take a stand, collaborate, watch and dance with each other. They cooperate in silence only with the help of appearance, body language and reactions as a guide. The work seeks to create space for spontaneity, creativity and surprise and open a room that encourages empathy through a shared experience.
