Femke Arnouts / Karavaan - Dat Gat

'It is special, yes, just like the Northern Lights are special. Or a fox. Or a cloud in the shape of a heart. But I think it would be wise if we just let it be. This is not something we should do anything with. That seems clear to me. This is not for us. It is something for science. Or not even that. I am sure that they will also agree that this is nothing and will not become anything.' The performance 'Dat Gat' can be seen in Frascati.

That Hole

A normal woman cycles on a normal day over a normal dike. Until she comes across a huge hole. A hole that she, inexplicably, feels compelled to approach. A second woman follows, but feels nothing for that same hole and then does everything she can to get the first woman out of there.

Emptying our minds seems to require an ever greater act. How radical can that act be? What if 'nothingness' has taken shape and is suddenly standing before you? What if you can touch 'nothing', feel 'nothing'? What do you do then?
