Berlin is an art collective from Antwerp composed of theater-trained Yves Degryse and Caroline Rochlitz, and video artist Bart Baele. In the “Hollocène” series begun in 2003, the group developed a documentary approach to create original portrayals of cities. After Jerusalem, Iqaluit (an Inuit town in Northern Canada) and Moscow, they chose Bonanza, a small village in Colorado. Mixing an interview-based script and videos, the play delves beyond the idyllic surface into a society weighed down by gossip and resentment.

Steven Cohen Boudoir
If, up until now, the performances of the South African artist have consisted of exposing himself onstage or in public spaces, in his latest piece Steven Cohen plays host to audiences from within the confines of an intimate, private space, the boudoir. The latter, a chapel or refuge, becomes a place in which he gathers up his memories of his past - as well as those of the last century, gruesome though they may be.

How do we go about presenting the adaptation of a famous film to the Lebanese authorities in charge of censorship? We come to realize that it is about a film which recounts the improbable encounter between two very dissimilar individuals both of whom are experiencing social alienation in fascist Italy in 1938. The adaptation is set in Beirut in 2007, shortly after an Israeli attack on Lebanon.
