I’m performing at #sisyphuscafe with something that’s wildly out of my comfort zone. I’ll probably get anxious about it any time soon, but for the time being I’m delighted and hyperfocused. There will be drawing -of course- but also narrative movement on paper and in space. Let’s call it body theatre.

#Sisyphuscafe is a concept by Dirk Cousserier about turmoil, melancholy and hope: “Klimaatverandering, migratie, kantelende geopolitieke verhoudingen, ongelijkheid, burnouts en depressies, digitalisering e.a. veroorzaken onrust, angst en melancholie. Melancholie verenigt echter uitersten in zich: zwaarte en lichtheid, rust en dreiging, schoonheid en vrees. Verzanden we in een maatschappelijke depressiviteit of putten we er creativiteit en hoop uit?”
