Verstrikt (Entangled)

The performance “Verstrikt”, created by Jinte De Greef (textile work, concept), Grim Mignon (performer) and Oona Geelen (live music), is a dark, unsettling and nihilistic performance that will unfold from a piece made from recycled textiles.

The textile installation serves as a collection point where people can bring their old, discarded and damaged textiles. Our performance arises from this need to raise awareness about the overconsumption of clothing and global warming. In it, we depict a cycle of destruction - a sacrifice of our humanity - which will consist of two parts: the dark destruction (performance) and the collective restoration of this (repair workshops).

The dark destruction (performance)

A parasite (performer, Grim) moves through a womb-like world (the textile installation); he tries to nest but causes unseen damage. His environment becomes unliveable and a drive for escape, power and control takes over. In this demonic environment, the live music is the only thing keeping the parasite in check. What happens once this connection is severed? What is a human being when all humanity is stripped away?

Collective restoration (the restoration workshops)

The second part of the cycle of destruction consists of the restoration workshops, in which we will physically restore the textile work. These workshops focus on collective healing, connection and participation. Every participant in the workshop will become part of the cycle of destruction: collective restoration, connection and mutual support following a difficult period of destruction.
