SUMMIT - Ontroerend Goed

You are invited to a summit. You are invited to a performance titled SUMMIT. You know, of course, that that is not the same thing. After all, you know very well where the line lies between reality and fiction. You love to see reality as you have not yet seen it. That is why you choose theater. But whether there will always be fiction to see, that we cannot promise you. Meeting or metatheater? 'SUMMIT' explores the boundaries between fact and fiction, belief and doubt, beauty and horror. What happens when words seem like truth, but are not entirely? When we want to believe something, even though we know better? With 'SUMMIT', Ontroerend Goed investigates the power of our imagination. A performance that does not ask to choose what is real, but invites you to dare to believe what we can imagine. Alexander Devriendt, artistic director Ontroerend Goed: “As an artist, you have the habit of building distance from your subject. That is necessary to tell something relevant about it. You can also have that perspective as a citizen. Trying to look just a little differently at all that disaster to find small moments in which you can breathe, in which there is ventilation, in which you are not paralyzed, but feel that there is still margin to think differently and take action. [...] We call it pockets of oxygen, or pockets of resistance. Art is also such a bubble. We come to the theater, not to forget the world entirely, on the contrary, but to be able to breathe in it for a moment. Together.” (interview by Jonas Mayeur, NTGent) The press on 'SUMMIT' “'SUMMIT' emphasizes the power of the imagination and thus the power of the theater. It is no coincidence that in authoritarian regimes the arts are often targeted” (Liv Laveyne, De Standaard) “'SUMMIT' shows what the essence of theater is and how powerful theater is in its simplicity.” (Tom Van Bogaert, BrusselBlogt) Schouwburg Kortrijk is a proud UiTPAS partner.
