RESIDENCY

With “Familiestraat”, artist and theatre maker Thomas Verstraeten joins forces with 200 local residents to create a six-hour performance that explores “the truly extraordinary, but also perfectly normal.”

Since 2020 he has been gathering moments from day to day life which he proceeded to examine by establishing links between the happenings in his street in reflection to what is happening all around us in the world – thereby juxtaposing world history with the history of his street, and vice versa.
