As part of Metropolis Festival - a youth festival exploring art, technology, and the future, inspired by Fritz Lang's iconic film Metropolis (1927) – Robbe Vandenven is creating a new performance. For this performance, Robbe is looking for performers between 15 and 20 years old.
How might our bodies move in 2126, and how do we want them to move? Who controls our bodies? Together, we will explore these questions and create a physical theatre performance.
There is no spoken text, so you can participate regardless of your language background. Experience in theatre or dance is not required.
Do you like to move your body? Sign up here. You will receive a confirmation and further information by 18/09.
