Leue with An Miller and Koen Vanmechelen - Ode to wonder

A plea to open your senses and let your ideas evolve. Children are often full of wonder. Why is the sea blue? Why does it get dark? Why is that man bald? Somewhere on the way to adulthood, most of us lose that open-mindedness. Gradually, the fire of curiosity is extinguished: things are just the way they are, there is nothing new under the sun. And that is a pity. Wonder gives life color, helps to push our boundaries, and encourages us to question false certainties. In her book Ode to Wonder, Caroline Pauwels makes a spirited plea to look at the world with that childlike gaze once again. In science and art, but also in the big and small moments of every day. This performance Ode to Wonder is just as much an ode to the late rector of the VUB, Caroline Pauwels. With texts by Caroline and music she loved. An Miller steps into the shoes of Caroline Pauwels.
