Does the world sometimes feel too hard to bear?
For two weeks, Ticket to Utopia invites you to escape into worlds that are more loving, more equal, and more free. Step into a different reality each time, where we come together to dream and experiment. Let your imagination take the lead. Because only when we can imagine a different future can we begin to make it real.
The Line Up
Cirque Mania #22 | Circus
Here you encounter the work of makers who share their utopia with us, from internationally acclaimed Daniel Simu with his crossover between circus and robotics, to In Difference, which stretches the possibilities of the Cyr wheel into the (im)possible.
Cocon (Headliner) | Music
Cello Octet Amsterdam and artist Nick Verstand create an immersive audiovisual performance in which eight cellists are surrounded by moving robotic arms, forming a living, breathing cocoon.
Sensing Machines: Of Flesh and Inference | Music
Body, sensors, and an AI agent interact as equals during a live electro-acoustic improvisation by Rewire favourite: Farzané. What does it sound like? Unimaginably unpredictable.
