Oscillation ::: o tempo bulletin ep. 1 … a last pre-festival communiqué
Dear travellers in space and time,
Tomorrow marks the start of the fifth edition of our annual Oscillation festival, hosted by MILL (Needcompany) and HISK in Molenbeek. Disappointment awaits this year’s late deciders: all the festival days are sold out. Only for the workshops and the Charlemagne Palestine concert on Sunday evening, are some places still available. Charlemagne’s concert is moving to another church – our Sunday eve trance will now be summoned at the majestic Église du Couvent des Pères Carmes in Ixelles. Tonight, we begin the festival with a pre-program reading group with Persis Bekkering, who’ll expand our theoretical horizons in anticipation of the following days.
Festival specials
During the festival, companion pieces to this year’s themes are made available. Be sure to check them out in time, since they’re disappearing after the festival :::
