While walls are being built everywhere – be they physical, economic or symbolic – we suggest you ignore them and reverse the trend. And again, as always, we invite you: Come one, come all! Please look.
Come rediscover this familiar place from moment to moment. Roam through the whole place from top to bottom. Meet a hundred artists with unique universes. Share their stories, their visions of the world through twenty short formats and a mix of disciplines (theatre, dance, circus, music, video …).
XS is three evenings full of surprises to help you to open up and to look beyond your horizon to multiply your points of view. In the wink of an eye see yourself, see others, differently. It’s like a condensed, concentrated version of the entire season. In the space of a weekend accelerate the rhythm to regain the world’s slow breathing.
