my greatest hits (a liquid room)
performances

The Liquid Room series, conceived for the empty space of the Kaaitheater, has acquired something of a cult status. Each Liquid Room is a mini festival on various stages where music seeks points of convergence with other disciplines. The past Liquid Rooms "Sound & Vision" (2017) and "Phrases" (2018) were organised as part of the Interfaces Network.

For 2019, the Belgian ensemble pushed the envelope a bit further, inviting spectators into a festival within the festival: This Liquid Room was the opening concert of the 37th edition of Musica Festival in Strasbourg, France. A vast evening – more than three hours of music – in which the aesthetic experience merged with moments of dialogue and interaction.
