Living Apartment Together

17.09.25 — 24.09.25

Like 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.

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.

Living Apartment Together is a creation by Yves Degryse, artistic director at NTGent and BERLIN.
