For ( PARADOX ), Alex Akuete starts from his motto “Everything is everything and nothing at the same time”. His solo project is an expression of an exploration around good or bad, right or wrong. He is interested in the dynamic through which he often contradicts his own truths yet keeps believing in the existence of those truths.

In the interactive solo performance Becoming Together, Briana utilizes the movement and energy of Stepping, a traditional African American dance form, to explore and create a live cultural exchange. Her focus on connection and rhythm will encourage audience participation and challenge the possibilities of body music. 

Never Stop Scrolling Baby evokes an endless act of scrolling, of cascading events, of an obese information nation, of TikTok-culture, of tearing down statues, of HYPE after HYPE after HYPE, of all the violent stimuli we endure and assimilate every single day until we paradoxically don't have any identity left.

In Un Nouveau Souffle, Nadine Baboy explores how dance can speak and how words can be turned into movement. Movement that lends a new breath to a world in a forced state of breathlessness. Un Nouveau Souffle rises from chaos to bring light among the darkness. Language flows into movement and tells a new story, one that writes itself into history with a capital H.

In Time Out, the body surrenders to an omnipresent temporariness. Notions of arrangement, adaptation, harmonisation and programming intermingle in this intense dialogue between a performer and a sound designer. From improvisations to a beat, these two aesthetes of time develop a unique composition method: an attempt to master timing in a space outside of time.
