a pulse with no body a sun with no sky

performance
installation
19—20.09.2025

In their new installation for the theatre, Ezra Veldhuis & Bosse Provoost evoke a world with its own cosmology, constructed from light, sound, and scenography. 

Bosse and Ezra create a zone in which the audience is invited to let go of their quotidian ways of seeing and thinking and open themselves up to odd, unsuspected connections and affections between spots of light, fragments of sound, bodies, and devices. The audience takes their place on the stage, which is spanned by an arc of light. A voice speaks to them, speculating on the sensory capacities and dreams of animals, from sponges to rats. Despite our differences, we rhyme biochemically. 

 

• Ezra Veldhuis (°1991) is a visual artist. She completed her master’s degree in painting at the School of Arts|KASK Ghent in 2017. In her installations, paintings, and videos, light is central as a material and as a subject. She has also worked as a lighting designer and scenographer and has been creating her own performances since 2018. Her paintings were selected for the KOMASK Prize 2017 and the Grote Ernst Albert prize 2018 (honourable mention). In 2022, she was nominated for the Prix Fintro prize in the Theatre and Dance category. Since 2021, she has been affiliated with KASK Ghent as a researcher in the Reflecting Light Research Group.
