Listen to your heart is a call to stand up for something, to take a position. We invite the audience to take a seat in a circle of chairs on the empty stage.
One by one, ten makers and performers enter the circle with a personal theatrical protest. They share their dreams, their fears and their convictions. How much room do we have to express ourselves and what kind of reactions can we expect?
You could say that this one-off performance is the moment for reflection during the festival. But whereas that usually takes the form of a debate or lecture, here we are inviting artists to come up with a theatrical proposal and speak from their heart. They will be using imagination as a weapon, creation as a form of destruction. It promises to be a unique encounter.
