The SPEAP team returned to Kortrijk on Thursday 27 April to conduct an exercise with the festival's programming team and its partner organisations. During the exercise, people wandered between the Schouwburg and the Buda arts centre, tasked with experimenting with other ways of moving, looking, meeting and orienting in the city. We also invited them to jointly describe the facades of these two places.
With this exercise, we wanted to explore the festival's relationship to this geographical area, based on movements between and near the festival's two current anchor sites. It was also about moving from a circulation between festival sites to a sensitive and attentive crossing that questions our relationship to time and to what surrounds us.
