SPRING Topic Talks are deepening conversations on SPRING themes: current issues that matter. What trends do we notice in the contemporary performing arts scene and how do they relate to the world around us? Experienced moderators Merel Heering and Jiaxin Chen will engage with artists from the festival and interesting guest speakers.
Topic Talks are easy to combine with a visit to a performance, but can also be attended separately. They are free and open to everyone. Making a reservation via this form is recommended.
TOPIC TALK: PERFORMING CARE
Several contemporary artists use notions of care as a poetics to question how we deal with the people and world around us. Where does this urgency come from? How do these poetics work? Does/should this affect the way we organize performing arts? What proposals do these artists do about the way we should live together, the way we should care for each other and how our health care system could look?
SPRING Artists Jija Sohn, Paweł Duduś and Kim Ramona Ranalter will discuss these themes in relation to their work.
When: Friday 26th of May, 17:30 - 18:30
Where: SPRING Festivalhart, Stadsschouwburg Utrecht, Lucasbolwerk 24, 3512 EJ Utrecht
