From 14–23 May, our associate artists Daniel Kok and Luke George will transform Neude Square in Utrecht into Home Bound — a growing participatory installation made from rope, stories, movement and community.

Created during the SPRING Performing Arts Festival, the project brings together artists, craftspeople, local residents and visitors to collectively weave, knot and build a monumental installation exploring multiculturalism, migration and belonging.

Over ten days, communities from across Utrecht — from knitters and carpet weavers to circus artists, bell ringers and rope practitioners — will gather daily to share knowledge, stories and practices.

Participation is free and open to everyone.

📍 Neude Square, Utrecht
📅 14–23 May
🕛 Daily from 12:00

How to create a dance of self-defence?

Developed from gestural codes circulating within Black and q***r communities in Rio de Janeiro, Repertório N.1 unfolds as a choreography of protection, visibility, and resistance.

Surrounded by the audience, naked and without music, Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira move between synchronicity and suspension. The sound of sneakers against the floor becomes rhythm, language, and collective force.

Originally conceived in 2018 as the first chapter of a trilogy, the work could not be realised during Bolsonaro’s Brazil. Only now does this long-awaited opening chapter come into being.
