This is where we start: two aliens on the pavement.

We are beginning a story that will unfold over time. Our graduation project is the first chapter of a continuous research into collaborative art-making and theatrical methodologies. Over the last months we have surrendered to the process of ripening like cheese does.

Together with other humans and non-humans we are crafting a surreal theater play that manifests itself in the form of endless rehearsals. Shaped by both scripted words and physical disruption. Our bodies following the dictum of life and play.

If you happen to find your way into the KABK building between 8th and 11th of July, you will encounter us in a long room with a sink, an oven, and a tiny exit. We will be rehearsing and you will become part of the story.

This project is a collaboration between Natalia Irena Nikoniuk and Bo Wielders.

Rehearsal also involves: Zeynep Yılmaz, Bassel Halabi, Ayla Aron, Aya Koné, Guenn Ramon Gustina, Max van Olffen, Onur Tayranoğlu, Naomi Moonlion.
