Cinemaximiliaan is a cinema for people on the move. The project started spontaneously in the refugee camp in the Maximilian Park, where daily film screenings provided a welcome distraction. The volunteers of Cinemaximiliaan have encountered dozens of newcomers with artistic talent. This evening features work by three of these people.

Burrows and Fargion offer a chance to see their 2014 Venice Biennale piece Body Not Fit For Purpose. It is an attempt to reconcile personal politics with the difficulty of saying anything of consequence in a dance performance, all the while revealing the strange permeability of dance to any message that it meets.

Five artists from different disciplines take a central role in this imaginative, bizarre and intimate ritual. Together with five performers, they seek a shared energy in a whirlwind of music, light, images and movement. Starting out from sketches and impulses, a variety of scenes appear before your eyes. Enjoy the revival of one of Stuart's most lavish performances!

In the midst of a brutal act of revenge, a boy and a girl exchange looks. Unwittingly, and without saying a word, their lives become inextricably linked. Inne Goris has adapted Alessandro Baricco's novel about the impact of war and the shared destiny of perpetrator and victim. This universal tale of revenge and grief explicitly poses the question: is reconciliation possible?

What begins as an innocent game soon degenerates into a fierce battle with a victorious winner. The line between real and unreal begins to fade disturbingly: how fragile is our civilization in reality?

How do you deal with ecological doomsday scenarios? Schwalbe reduces the answer to one simple act: cycling. They generate electricity for the performance using exercise bikes. Until exhaustion takes over.

This is a woman who, on payment, you briefly possess, but rarely to love her. She wants to save her daughter from the solitude into which her own fate has plunged her. She sees the hope of a new life disintegrate at the start of the Arab Spring.

The French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy has pronounced ideas on art and culture.
