Content Warning - Contains discussion of racial discrimination & stereotyping.

WED 26 & SAT 29 MAY

A Certain Value immerses itself in the radical, artistic and human experiences of four European collectives:

1. a group of inmates in a women's prison

2. families of migrants and unaccompanied minors living in an occupied building

3. an art collective who share a single bank account

4. eco-activist children from public schools or homeschooling projects, worried about the fate of the planet

All these new voices, gathered in Genk, Rennes, Marseille, Brussels and Budapest, have given birth to a hybrid form, where real conversations are edited into a fictional dialogue between the different collectives, inviting the public to slip into the shoes of the protagonists in an interactive script.
