Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.

Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.
