Verstrikt Herstelworkshops
The performance “Verstrikt”, created by Jinte De Greef (textile work, concept), Grim Mignon (performer) and Oona Geelen (live music), is a dark, unsettling and nihilistic performance that will unfold from a textile work made from recycled fabric. In the performance, we depict a cycle of destruction – a sacrifice of our humanity – which will consist of two parts: the dark destruction (the performance) and the collective restoration of it (restoration workshops).
In the restoration workshop, we create an atmosphere that is in stark contrast to that of the performance *Verstrikt*. The performance has a very dark, nihilistic and unsettling atmosphere, whilst the workshop centres on collective healing, connection and participation. In the workshop, we teach a technique based on handicrafts such as crochet, bobbin lace-making, weaving, etc. Using this technique, we will physically repair parts of the textile work that have been damaged. Every participant in the repair workshop will become part of the cycle of destruction: collectively repairing, connecting and supporting one another after a difficult period of destruction.
