Edition 56 / 6 Jun 2020

Abandoned places

A festival theme that was conceived long before the corona crisis. Abandoned places in the (urban) landscape that appeal to the imagination of artists. Now that we are confronted with deserted stages and concert halls - abandoned because a deadly virus is haunting - this theme takes on a whole new meaning. On June 6 we present our programme online from these abandoned places. In a 1.5-hour live internet edition, you will see Kluster5 from the Electriciteitsfabriek, the Mosa Trio from Belgium and Michel Marang in Korzo. Artist-in-residence Meriç Artaç filmed in her hometown Istanbul, on deserted locations where we follow her new character Mr. Z.
