SOCHA Bardo

Theater Arsenaal
Directed by Junior Mthombeni

Life performer: Cesar Janssens, Lotta Kestens, Gökhan Kızılbuğa en Elke Gijsemans - DJ Courtasock (Xavier Scheffer), SLAM Zediam

​​​​​​

​

Until now, SOCHA has been inspired by movement, text, music and dance.
This time, however, it is the turn of the image.

​

Bardo is the threshold between dissolution and becoming.

​

Raw. Layered. Unfiltered.

​

Four artists bring their work, ideas and colours together in the same space, not to outdo one another, but to create a shared universe.

​

Their work is accompanied by the rhythm of a DJ and the spoken word of a hip-hop poet who breaks down and rebuilds language in real time.

In this universe, impermanence is not a tragedy.
Finitude is a celebration.

​

Everything may fall, break or disappear because what dissolves makes space for what is yet to come.

​

Expect an eruption of colour, sound and energy.


This is not a performance, but an experiment in living.
