OPEN CALL Noorderlicht

This year the Royal Academy, the Royal Conservatoire and AP Hogeschool organise Noorderlicht once again. Not as a parade, but as an artistic route. Noorderlicht 2019 will be organised in the district of Antwerp-North on Thursday 28 November at 6 pm. This time we visit the residents: at 30 indoor locations on De Coninckplein and in the surrounding streets. The locations include living rooms, hairdressers, night shops, restaurants, cafes, churches, ... The participants are divided over six routes that lead them to five addresses. Everyone ends up at the neighbourhood party in Permeke Library or on the square.

In these spaces, lots of things can happen: a living room concert, performances, a short dialogue, a solo for a singer, an improvisation, a new text or existing story, a song, a crossover between visual arts and performing arts, there is room for experiment but also for clichés. These performances are short and powerful: each session lasts about 10 minutes and is repeated a few times during the evening.

The core of this project remains that we want to make this as much as possible for the people in the neighborhood. It is played for an audience of people who do not necessarily frequent the classical cult temples. If you would like to create something together with neighbours or associations from the neighbourhood, then that is possible in the context of Noorderlicht.

We chose the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a starting point of this year's theme. Presumably this becomes a guideline in the programme booklet or as a conclusion in the library Permeke. The text leaves a lot of space to fill in artistically.
