Playground returns with a second edition showcasing once again 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. Regular formats like white cube exhibitions and black box theatre are
abandoned in favour of new presentations and combinations.
The program of Playground 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 on the other. Through film and installations the artists
investigate the notion of play, movement, performance and theatricality.
