For its sixteenth edition, Playground is once again offering artists who are not bound to one discipline but work at the interface between stage and visual arts a platform. Playground is a sanctuary for experimentation where performance, installation, image and movement merge into extraordinary presentations. More and more artists are breaking down the walls that traditionally separate the disciplines. They create new images that reflect on art, the world and the mediatisation of life.
About the programme
During this edition, we bring you La Ribot's visual performance LaBOLA, Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust who explores how a costume encourages dancing, Esther Kläs & Gustavo Gomes who challenge physicality and Peter Morrens who pulls you into an extraordinary total installation. Visual installations by Evelien Cammaert and Ruta Butkute are at regular intervals activated by performers. In addition, M presents installations and films by Ana Torfs, Johanna Billing, Hedwig Houben and Eric Minh Cuong Castaing.
Playground is a collaboration between M and STUK. This sixteenth edition is special as STUK Arts Centre is currently being renovated and so this event will almost entirely take place at M. This means that the museum together with STUK is presenting an expanded programme, including in the evening hours. On Saturday, STUK presents the 'Venus Parade' by the French artist duo Clédat & Petitpierre, a parade in public space that starts and ends at M.
