Nexus Lab | with the kids
We wait for big things in life to come to us. But can we, while waiting for greatness, notice the beauty in the small things? In folding a pile of laundry, a conversation at a bus stop, peeling an orange, or the silence in a checkout line? What happens if we try? Anne and Cyril have explored these questions; they have been bored, struggled, observed. They have played and had breakfast. They have waited, waited, waited.
On Sunday at 13.00, there will be a special performance for children aged 8+. The 15.00 performance is intended for adults. 
Nexus Lab | language no problem
The third chapter of the ongoing trilogy. A tender, surreal duet, a research on the way the imaginary travels, on how worlds are constantly being built, shifted and dissolved, much like when children play and transform anything into a stage, a character, or a universe.

A research on aural hauntings: vanishing oral traditions, lamenting rituals, and speculative archives. What does it mean to fictionalize memories? Can the absent – the ephemeral childhood memories, old VHS tapes, secret love letters from grandfathers we never met, folklore, and ghost stories – be reinvoked through sonic acts?
