The ecological redirection of performing arts

Mon 20.11.2023, Budascoop Kortrijk (BE)

The current ecological catastrophe is the challenge of the century. Art and culture are being challenged in their very practices, and are being called upon as a catalyst for the redirection of society in general. Despite numerous initiatives, the sector remains cautious, inclined to negotiate with ecological imperatives. During NEXT 2023, two days of IT'S A MATCH will consider the performing arts in this moment of bifurcation, in dialogue between initiatives and actors from Flanders, Wallonia, Hauts-de-France and elsewhere.

IT'S A MATCH connects cultural actors across regions, sectors and disciplines, with the support of the Cultural Cooperation Agreement between Flanders and the Hauts-de-France Region and with the backing of the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis.
