Bad Trip @ Cultuurcentrum Sint-Niklaas

De geheimen van de geest fascineren al eeuwen wetenschap en kunst. Sinds Plato buigen filosofen zich over de raadselachtige relatie tussen ziel en lichaam. Vandaag vragen we ons af hoe we comapatiënten kunnen behandelen, of liefde echt chemie is en hoe we naar andere planeten kunnen reizen. En wat te verwachten van artificiële intelligentie?
Nadar ensemble speelt vier werken waarin wonderlijke kanten van de geest centraal staan, van het waakvlammetje van de slaap tot psychedelische visioenen.

Programma:
- Fausto Romitelli: Professor Bad Trip III (2000)
- Alexander Schubert: Point Ones (2012)
- Helmut Oehring: Locked in (2003)
- Stefan Van Eycken: Hibernaculum (2013)

Donderdag 23 april 2015, Museumtheater Sint-Niklaas, 20u.
