WALL TO WALL @ Monty - 21 & 22 October
WALL TO WALL presents two portraits of the dogpaddling human being and artist in the urban context. DEMO, a short film by Kris Verdonck, and NOT TOMORROW, a dance performance by Brussels-based Catalan dancer and choreographer Marc Iglesias Figueras.
In both pieces, the characters’ fantasies are funny and alluring while their reality remains wry, dark even. Yet they are not victims. They are characters who keep trying: an ode to the artist’s irresistible urge to keep making and playing, and even more: to the deep human drive to survive and live. Or as Beckett himself captured it so well: "You must go on, I can’t go on, I’ll go on."

More than half the people on our planet live in cities. What does living in a city do to a person? Cities are often known as places where jobs are available, where luxuries can be bought, and comfort is within reach. But cities also often produce a precarious class of homeless, refugees, unemployment, ... Concerned with their image, city councils try to keep these groups out of sight. Neighborhoods are changing, cities are increasingly conceived in terms of gentrification, tourism and profit.
The smart city creates dropouts rather than inclusion.
