MOVEMENTS OF SOUL

YAV
di 8 okt en wo 9 okt

For English see below

In MOVEMENTS OF SOUL verenigt YAV de dynamische werelden van dans, muziek en mode, en crëert zo een unieke en immersieve ervaring. YAV kiest er bewust voor om deze creatie niet te beschrijven, om onze vooringenomenheid en conditionering te bevragen, aangezien we vaak verstrikt raken in het onderscheid tussen boodschap en boodschapper. 

YAV moedigt bezoekers aan om de performance op hun eigen manier te verkennen en te interpreteren, om zo gesprekken aan te wakkeren over hoe we kunst ervaren en begrijpen. MOVEMENTS OF SOUL is een kans op een gelaagde, individuele beleving. Het is een reminder dat kunst niet altijd woorden nodig heeft om betekenis over te brengen – soms komen de diepste gesprekken voort uit het onuitgesprokene, het niet-gescripte, en prachtige ambiguïteit.

In MOVEMENTS OF SOUL, YAV brings together the dynamic worlds of dance, music, and fashion to create a unique and immersive experience. YAV has deliberately chosen not to describe his piece to question our preconceived notions and conditioning, as we often find ourselves entangled in the confusion of distinguishing the message from the messenger. YAV encourages viewers to explore and interpret the performance in their own way to spark conversations about how we perceive and understand art. 

MOVEMENTS OF SOUL is an opportunity for a layered, individualised experience. 

It's a reminder that art doesn't always need words to convey meaning—sometimes, the most profound conversations arise from the unspoken, the unscripted, and the beautifully ambiguous.
