Experience, listen, dance, taste, love and negotiate with us
Borders are being blurred and Europe is contemplating how far to open its doors. How hospitable are you? How far are you able to relay your boundaries? Six tables represent six encounters. Discover the world of the Back, Red, Yellow, White, Blue, and Silver table in a program full of installations, music, a continuous theater/talk show, dance, food, and ‘performative games’.

White Table: To Let Go
De Brakke Grond presents the exhibition Wij twee samen (Us two together) by the Flemish illustrator Ephameron. When her father started to suffer from dementia, she initiated an exploration of the topic through her drawings. For a period of ten years she documented this illness. Engage with a labyrinth of images that slowly lose their meaning, allow yourself to be captured by a process of letting go.
