invisible

The aim of the game belongs to you, enabling you to pay close attention to what lies around you and to observe the fluctuation between what you feel and the potential impact rippling around you. Then, since this is indeed a game, you can play with the rules: seeking to enhance or reduce the impact of your actions on your surroundings and thinking about how that feels. The intensity of the events vary from powerful to almost nothing…

Instructions
– Upon arrival, you receive instructions for three actions which you will perform later. These instructions contain the description of the actions to be carried out, a report on the experience of other people who invented and tried them out in Lausanne in Switzerland, Groningen in the Netherlands, Goa in India and Belgrade in Serbia. What may be invisible in Goa is not necessarily so in Groningen!
– You act in small groups of eight to twelve people in permanent contact on WhatsApp.
– Four programmes with a minimum of three different actions each are provided. Hence, you can come back another time and choose a different programme!
– Remember to take your reading glasses to read the instructions for your actions, as well as appropriate clothing. Participation implies the use of WhatsApp, so please remember to charge your smartphone beforehand. If you do not have a smartphone, we have a few available.
– Total duration: approx. three hours.

“Act and watch yourself act. Observe the tiny, almost invisible chaos created: a delicate – and delightful disturbance – in the order of things that creates, for a short instant, a certain poetry of the absurd. Yan Duyvendak’s poetic strength paints our daily life with unexpected colours.” NKDM
