Writers Dominique De Groen, Imane Karroumi El Bouchtati and Maarten Inghels move like living antennae between works of art, sounds and bodies. No stage, no microphone. Just phrases that light up between installations, bounce off museum walls, voice the unspoken. 

Sometimes a question; at other times a whisper or a poem in the making. The three writers are simultaneously guides and wanderers: connected with the audience, but never offering explanations. They move slowly, with receptive senses and loose language, like a gentle disruption of the space. 

Their contribution is not a performance, not a lecture, but a voice that appears, disappears and reappears. Sometimes you approach them, and at other times they seek you out. Like the entire evening: YOU ARE HERE – but not really.
