The Nightlife Performances #1: While we are here

Copresentation with VIERNULVIER in the Wintercircus

“Today's raves are hardly a situation that prefigures utopia. They cannot prefigure futures when there may not be any. The constructed situation of the rave may be all some of us have ― even if the revolution comes.” ― McKenzie Wark, Raving
 

People have always danced intensively together, and under various names, raves have always existed. In While we are here, Lisa Vereertbrugghen investigates the timeless desire to collectively dance hard. She invited Claire Godsmark, Dolores Hulan, Eimi Leggett and Castélie Yalombo Lilonge to collectively practice hardcore rave parallel to folk dances that celebrate joy and togetherness.

Duration: 50 minutes / language no problem
 

In The Nightlife Performances, a new series by CAMPO & VIERNULVIER, the fascinating twilight zone between clubbing and performance is explored. Expect performances that are both a celebration of nightlife and a critical look at it. What is the minimum required to safely loosen up? To dance intensely or just subdued?
