Living Apartment Together
24.09.26 — 29.09.26Like a can of sardines, the façade of an apartment building opens up magically. The city rushes by, but our gaze slows down.
A man with a lover who just won’t return his calls. A lonely child with a microscope. A young couple madly in love who suddenly see death looming. Living Apartment Together tells the stories of 13 residents in a block of flats. Their lives touch through a song that seeps through the walls, a pizza that is left at the wrong door, a fire alarm.
Life unfolds on a life-size projection in five apartments and a stairwell. Meticulously edited. The spectators watch with headphones on as characters step out of the projection. Around them, city life rushes by.
Living Apartment Together is a creation by Yves Degryse, artistic director at NTGent and BERLIN. A sensory performance somewhere between film and theatre about the quiet beauty of the seemingly banal. About invisible synchronicity. About the realisation that every beginning is nothing more than a continuation.
