“During our residency at BUDA, we would like to make the end of our performance All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, to find out what the middle might be. We are further developing our scenography, which includes a steaming cable river and hills of ballet floor. Benne Dousselaere continues to work on the sound design, based on California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & the Papas, We’re Lost in Music of Sister Sledge and At Last I Am Free of CHIC. With the performers, we explore a performativity in which one’s own body is a vessel for diverse nonhuman intelligences.”

Ezra Veldhuis & Bosse Provoost (NL/BE)

Ezra Veldhuis and Bosse Provoost have been making performances together at the intersection of performance and installation art since 2018.

With light shifts, sound snippets and silences, they compose ever-changing spaces. Performers sometimes remain completely absent, or are about to be absorbed by these environments. In that same twilight zone between presence and absence, non- or semi-human figures also pass by.

In the past years, they have created the performances Matisklo (2018), SUN-SET (2020) and Indoor Weather (2021) at Toneelhuis. Their new show All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace will premiere in October 2023.
