In the familiar form of a technological demonstration, a space unfolds where discourse on innovation and human presence respond to each other in an unsettling proximity.

Pierre Gosée

Between professional credibility and slight strangeness, the performer plays with the codes of presentation, proof and efficiency to raise discreet doubts about what is really changing before our eyes.

The device thus creates tension between the promise of improvement and a shift towards standardisation of gestures and attitudes. It raises a simple but persistent question: how far are we willing to adjust our behaviour to match the image expected of us?

Pierre Gosée (he, him) is a visual artist and designer based in Belgium. His work combines performance and installation, subverting the codes of communication and technological demonstration to question our relationship with progress. He holds a master’s degree in Image in the Environment from ARTS² and a bachelor’s degree in Applied Art from the Haute École Condorcet. He is developing the Kayou Group universe, a group of fictional companies that serve as a narrative framework for projects combining design, satire and fiction.

The Next Performance Art Generation

Every two years, (Pas si) Fragile! takes the pulse of emerging performance art.

This spring, 10 performances fresh out of the oven and to be enjoyed on the same day, reflecting the moods of our time. More ironic than dramatic, more poetic than political, 10 escapades off the beaten track, away from overused themes and established formats.

Welcome to the fresh air!

Partners & support

(Pas si) Fragile! 2026 is a project led by Studio Thor, in collaboration with Infini théâtre, GC Ten Noey, Ateliers Mommen. With the support of Wallonia-Brussels Federation, WBI (Wallonia-Brussels International), WBTD (Wallonia-Brussels Theatre/Dance), Municipality of Saint-Josse.

About

(Pas si) Fragile! – the Next Performance Art Generation, the biennial springboard showcasing young artists involved in performance art, is back this spring.

With a different format for each edition of the festival, the audience gets to meet emerging artists who have recently graduated – or are about to graduate – from visual arts schools in Wallonia-Brussels. This year, these schools are La Cambre, ISAC, ERG, Master danse, ARTS² (Mons) and the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Tournai (AC’T).

This new edition will take place at Studio Thor and its surroundings and consists of a public programme of 10 performances on 25 April, from 5pm to 11pm.

The 10 performances at a glance

Naya Alezina invites us into a state of prolonged falling, a perceptual slide towards the depths, passing through text-matter and the crawling of a body that stirs and distorts the gestures of celebrities – through a dark, stripped-down space lifted from below.

Garance Buxtorf explores writing as movement, through poems written on the mist of a window and listened to individually on headphones.

Selim Clérin proposes to challenge physical learning and educational systems through collective and participatory practice: from familiar arrangements to unfamiliar ones.

For many hours, Yuna Choi undoes one dress to make another: in this process stress, anxiety and expectation are expressed.

Garance Debert embodies various domestic objects, in the manner of an internal and polymorphous cabaret, exploring the question of the ability to inhabit one’s body.

Plume Ducret plays with her accomplice, folding a sheet of paper to connect with soothing territories: how can comfort be a resource for resistance?

Pierre Gosée, in a kind of ‘product demonstration’ of a cognitive visualisation interface, blurs the line between innovation, commerce and fiction.

Maël Keppenne writes a text in real time, which is projected, where intimacy and eroticism heat up before our eyes, between text, body and desire.

Émilie Masson uses live drawing and folklore in public spaces to question memory, transmission and the place we are granted or denied.

Vittoria Toscana invites us to an immersive sound performance, where dance, light, sound and architecture interact, aiming to transport the audience into an heterotopic moment.
