LAB FUTURE NARRATIVES #2: cultural organisations in times of climate crisis ENG

Since 2022, Leuven has been in the vanguard as a European mission city. The goal of the mission is 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. The first Leuven Climate Contract contains an action plan towards climate neutrality in 2030, commitments by partners to implement the actions, and a financial model to pay for them. What are the roles that the cultural sector can play here? What expertise can we share?

Nico Boon lecture performance - About Playwrighting 1

About Playwriting (A Lecture) was created as part of Nico Boon’s doctoral thesis at the Associated Faculty of the Arts (KU Leuven/LUCA School of Arts). In this lecture, Boon approaches playwriting as a practice of continuous improvisation, in which chance, rhythmic intuitions, auditory awareness, bodily impulses, shapeshifting, and experimenting are more important than fixed narrative structures, or clear meanings, or distinct boundaries. He views playwriting as a transgressive enterprise that always refuses to choose a definitive form.

ZOÉ - An Immersive Science Fiction Poem in the Post-Anthropocene - UniT (AT)

ZOÉ is an immersive music performance that brings together science fiction poetry, electronic sounds and a changing landscape. In a world where humans, machines and nature merge, boundaries between species disappear. Here, stones speak, landscapes breathe and hybrid creatures emerge. ZOÉ invites you to become part of a living, vibrating environment where the definition of life is constantly reinvented.

JUDIT SEEKS - Het nieuwstedelijk (BE)

Judit lives with an overpowering urge to please, even if it means losing herself in the process. At the same time, she obsessively pursues self-improvement and passionately fights for the planet. When she has turned her whole life upside down, she is suddenly confronted with what she has been sacrificing all this time.

Femke Van der Steen's new text is a polyphonic narrative: bold yet imaginative, offering a provocative perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
