Eros in Motion – A Sensory Journey Through Landscape/3rd Devising Session

This is the third of three devising sessions, ending in two public performances.

Free experience - let's create together!

WildHeart artist-in-residence Pascal Buyse will lead a group of participants through a unique process of building performative installations in nature. This residency explores eros as a life force – a queer, sensual energy rooted in desire, connection, and creation. The installations are not static objects but embodied performances of the labor and movement that created them. Participants lift, crawl, stretch, and reach – the act of building becomes choreography. Later, these forms invite the audience to move through them and reawaken those gestures intuitively.

Core Research Question

Can an installation—built and physically experienced by its creators—invite visitors, without words, to move in specific ways? How can the maker’s intention be felt purely through material, shape, and landscape?

Who Is This For
