An encounter between different disciplines at the museum

Passages echoes the transient encounter between life and death, the past and the present, reality and imagination. It represents a no-man’s land where contrasting worlds meet. Unfolding an interplay of voice, light, visual arts, movement, electronics, and classical music, Passages is an ongoing performance that embraces its unfinished state and invites new contributors with each performance at every new location.

Nestled in museums and galleries, a versatile cast creates a dialogue between the transience of the performing arts and the enduring nature of the visual arts, where the gaze of the spectator adds the final brushstroke.
