Oscillating between a teenage bedroom and dream landscape, Lahkrissi burrows deep into feelings of alienation and otherness. A lyrical reflection on alternative, futuristic worlds of queer and minority communities.
SICK SAD WORLD is part of an ongoing cycle of reflections by Tariek Lakhrissi exploring alternative, futuristic worlds in which expressions from queer and minority communities are embodied in “fabulations” or made-up stories. After working on the notion of the nightclub as a liminal and utopian arena, Lakhrissi turns his attention to the space of dreams and the teenager’s bedroom to explore non-human identity in an otherworldly environment. The installation will be activated during a performance strongly influenced by bed-talks mixed with operatic lyrics and queer lip sync.
In collaboration with Kunstenfestivaldesarts
The performances on Friday and Saturday will be seated. The performance on Sunday takes place during the exhibition opening hours and therefore includes a ticket for the exhibition. That is why there will be no seating on Sunday.
