Playground returns with a third edition showcasing a series of
performances, projects and installations by visual artists, theatre
makers and choreographers who offer a unique view on contemporary
society. Artists no longer set their
artistic activities in terms of traditional disciplines and combine
media such as performance, installation, film and interactive
work.
The program consists of two closely linked and overlapping parts: a
series of performances and a part dedicated to exhibitions. A number
of productions by international companies explore and bridge the
boundaries between dance, film, theatre, music and visual arts.
Meanwhile a comprehensive exhibition runs throughout
different rooms of the STUK building. Through film
and installations the artists investigate the notion of play,
movement, performance and theatricality.
Some of the artists are featured in both parts of the
festival. As part of the festival STUK and de Appel organise a
syposium on alternative forms of presenting performances on art
objects.
