The evening’s theme is ‘things’ and centres around artist Haim Steinbach’s new exhibition, The Window.

The Artificial Nature Project
Brace yourselves for a highly unpredictable and exciting performance as artists breathe life into the inanimate by throwing materials around the room. Mette Ingvartsen brings us her fourth experimental piece exploring the relationship between the living and lifeless as dancers compose “a body that is no longer made of human flesh, but rather of a floating, flying mass”. Things are bound to get messy as calm contemplative scenes turn into manic chaos.
