Today we see an ever increasing number of artists exploring the boundaries between various art disciplines. Choreographers work together with visual artists, theatre makers experiment with video and film, artists incorporate performances in their exhibitions, musicians become actors in a play. The results are often quite different from the usual theatrical black box or thewhite cube of the museum.
With Playground STUK focuses specifically on the interface between visual arts and performing arts. This new international live art festival presents performances, installations and actions which differ from the familiar formats because of their object character and the interaction with the public. Many of these performances are new productions or Belgian premieres of productions from abroad. As part of an international context, the festival Playgroundcooperates with several international organisations.
