What if we could expe­rien­ce the­a­tre the way we walk through an exhi­bi­ti­on? The­a­ter makers Micha Gold­berg and Rosie Som­mers are in resi­den­ce at Kunst­hal Gent to work on their new pro­ject​‘Dra­ma in the Muse­um’. During the Paters­hol­fees­ten, they will explo­re the grey zone bet­ween black box and whi­te cube with a con­ti­nuous per­for­man­ce in Kunst­hal Gent.

During the Paters­hol­fees­ten, Micha Gold­berg & Rosie Som­mers, sup­por­ted by Ward Weem­hoff (De War­me Win­kel), open up their rehear­sal room insi­de Kunst­hal Gent. Dra­ma in the Muse­um is an ongo­ing expe­ri­ment — part per­for­man­ce, part instal­la­ti­on — whe­re sce­nes from clas­sic reper­toi­re pie­ces unfold in a muse­um con­text, strip­ped of the­a­tri­cal illusion.

Instead of one fixed moment, visi­tors are invi­ted to come and go. To wit­ness frag­ments, repe­ti­ti­ons, warm-ups, pau­ses. Eve­ry­thing is part of the pie­ce. The art spa­ce (the muse­um) beco­mes a spa­ce not just for loo­king, but for fee­ling — with dra­ma as the living object under observation.

In the spi­rit of 1960s hap­pe­nings, Dra­ma in the Muse­um brings fric­ti­on and ali­ve­ness into the whi­te cube. A burst of emo­ti­on, a touch of cha­os, a moment of the­a­tri­cal pre­sen­ce that dis­rupts the quiet.
