The Greek performance artist Theano Metaxa invites workers in, around, and against EU bodies and institutions to participate in a creative workshop. Led by the artist, participants will be invited to answer questions from a personal perspective. By sharing their opinions and assessments, they will re-imagine and re-create a hypothetical scenario based on historical and fictional events from the past. 

 

 

Theano Metaxa (GR)

The recorded workshop conclusions will culminate in Theano’s final performance, where they will be presented to the public anonymously. However, participants are also invited to take part in the performance to share their thoughts directly with the public. 

The workshop sessions will be preceded by the artist’s arrival at Brussels Schuman railway station, which everybody is welcome to attend. 

Theano Metaxa has been working in Theater since 2005 in Athens, mainly as an actress and director. Alongside  her theatrical stage work, she is constantly researching and developing personal and collaborative performances in the public space and urban environments.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Participants will be guided into a space of reflection, where they will be asked to step away from the hectic rhythms of the competitive world that characterizes contemporary western societies.

Trouble #12 « It’s about time » 

Trouble #12, « It’s about time » : it’s the question of time (and especially the time we allow for ourselves, that we give to relationships and to works so that they can resonate) that will be at the heart of the Brussels biennial of performance. To survey notions of historical time, stolen time, out-of-time, time loops, generational differences, protracted periods … or on the contrary, very brief moments. Are you losing your bearings? It is high time that Trouble comes back to trouble you!

About

The Performance Event in Brussels is Back!

Launched in 2005, TROUBLE has ever since been the international performance event in Brussels. As of 2019, Studio Thor has been organising and producing the Festival, with its studio and environs in the heart of the city’s popular commune of Saint-Josse serving as its nerve centre. TROUBLE is held every two years, in the odd years.

Trouble: philosophy

TROUBLE has retained the ingredients that ensured its previous successes. With its dense and wide-ranging program, the five-day long event focuses on numerous artistic proposals that are both out-of-the-ordinary and differ from routine formats. Performances involving the human body, yet created by artists whose roots are in the visual arts, contemporary dance, experimental theatre, oral poetry, music or the night scene… for a vibrant mix of artistic families and audiences. Instead of spectacle/s meant for mere consumption, real-life experiences are on offer: self-involvement, risk-taking, vulnerability, interactivity, finely balanced between local personalities and artists from elsewhere–– and often discoveries. To ensure a more diverse vision of art, our program gives pride of place to women, queers, racialized and minority groups. We also offer a platform to young artists, thanks to the collaboration with the performance course at Brussels’s renowned visual arts school La Cambre (ENSAV). While the Festival incorporates a demanding reflective aspect, it by no means excludes an engaging playful dimension!
