Contested Waters
A heterotopic experience for the little homogeneous man
Taking the city as a metaphor, the performance addresses the constructs and norms imposed upon our identities. In what ways do people struggle with their individuality in a sea of homogeneity?
How do we present ourselves in public space? Where and how do we allow space for each other's 'otherness' and how do we see this translated in the cities, houses, products, organisations, and the relationships we construct? Where is there room for fluidity in our lives?
Come and experience fluidity, float with us to another place, and let time transform us from performance to concert. While listening, float on beautiful thoughts in our pool, the perfect place for momentarily escaping our seemingly well-defined identities.
Bring your bathing suit!
The performance takes place in the pool at Club Pellikaan Maastricht. Feel free to immerse yourself to the sounds of live minimal music. Please arrive twenty minutes early to ensure you have enough time to put on your bathing suit.
