Territorial Business - Brussels

Part performance improvisation, part installation and design experiment, Territorial Business is a workshop co-led by Back to Back Theatre’s ensemble member Simon Laherty and Artistic Associates Ingrid Voorendt and Tamara Searle.

Some territories are formed by land mass, others by language, identity or politics. What about you? How do you use your language and body to undo territorial fictions? What is our imaginary around the notion of territory? What is yours? Do you share it with others?
