Open Club Niek Vanoosterweyck
Grijswaarden
In our polarised world, an issue is quickly reduced to yes or no, good or bad, black or white. Where is still room to come together? Where can playfulness be found within those rigid frameworks of extremes?
Niek Vanoosterweyck, a 2020 mime graduate, is intrigued by the binary system. The world of zeros and ones.
For his new performance-in-waiting ‘Grijswaarden’, he takes polarisation literally and sets to work with polarising light: a technique that allows you to break down and manipulate light waves. Light and dark. On and off. Together with two players, he works on a space that reacts interactively. Extremes are the only parameter. Do humans and space succeed in entering into a dialogue. Can the interplay become a trio. Will it remain + and – or something in between?
