In previous solo performances, choreographer Ula Sickle and sound artist Yann Leguay examined the interaction between movement, voice, sound and light. In Prelude, they work with Norwegian vocalist Stine Janvin Motland. With her use of extended vocal technique, Motland explores the limits of the human voice, entering into dialogue with the amplified elements present on stage. Has the body become an extension of technology?

In Hunter, the choreographer Meg Stuart explores her own body as a living archive. She discovers microscopic traces surrounding her body and translates them into a series of self-portraits. A cartoonesque body, a shamanist chanting ritual, or a noisy sound sculpture.

Theatre maker Wajdi Mouawad engages in an open dialogue with the mayor of Brussels, Yvan Mayeur and Lukas Pairon (Music Fund). Béatrice Delvaux (Le Soir) will eavesdrop on this unprecedented encounter, a first in a series of three Night Shops organised by UCL.

With his International Institute for Political Murder, Swiss director Milo Rau makes films and theatre performances that combine art, history and politics. Hate Radio tells the story of the genocide in Rwanda from the studio of radio Mille Collines, based on real time broadcasts and authentic accounts. History here comes very close.
