Each performance lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.
Space Called Newspaper, Edward Janssen
In the reflecting space, the windows of which will be covered with newspapers, thus turning the gaze inward, the performer mirrors himself towards the audience in a stream of consciousness in which the newspaper functions as a filter or lens, in which stories are mixed without sense of hierarchy.
Soi-même comme un autre, Danielle van Vree
In this performance in which fiction and reality become confused the spectator while facing the mirrored wall is made aware of himself, the other, the performer and the significance of his presence which is experienced indirectly via the mirroring image.
Opera deel 2, Anet van de Elzen
A solo performance in which the mirroring space is being investigated through voice and body, breath and silence, air and sound while distracting sounds from the mirrored walls which hold the tremor of the voice.
Binnenstebuiten, Aktie Slapen
Aktie Slapen, an initiative of film-and theater maker Lee Ellickson, is a performative project designed for urban locations in which daily events are staged as a means to investigate and respond to the singular conditions of unique spaces such as this one.
De punt, het oneindige niets, Anno Dijkstra
This performance in which a wooden box seemingly moves by itself through the space while leaving behind it traces of earth, plays with the contradiction between the endless and airy character of the mirrored space and the materiality and weight of the earth.
