Performance
Through The Looking-Glass (and what we found there)
Mon 09 Mar 2020Mats Vandroogenbroeck, Nona Demey Gallagher and Timo Sterckx
Bastardo 1, 2 and 3 are boom suddenly in a very special living room. As in a rêverie, they cannot remind themselves how they appear there. They have never seen each other - never ni (or ni or yes or ni or yes?) The bastardi comes over with a sense of déjà vision. They speculate. Do they have to look for in- or exits? Or do they stay internal better? Are they free willy or has their lottery been drawn for a long time? The more they philosophize, the more they spin in eight. The atmosphere becomes para-frigid, communication splashes. The question remains: "What are we doing here?
