The Swedish artist and composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff, who participated in Documenta in 1997, has written and staged a play about six ‘classic’ methods of torture that use water, light, sound, heat, etc. In Death is Certain, the Berlin performance artist Eva Meyer-Keller is a perfidious kitchen queen who puts vegetables to death. They are throttled, shot, drowned, poisoned and so on.

The choreographer Charlotte Vanden Eynde intuitively combines dance, art and performance. In MAP ME she shares the stage with her partner in life, Kurt Vanden Driessche: in the course of this performance their two bodies are literally ‘mapped’. The body as a sculpture, a compact mass, an erotic force.
