The periphery is a territory that escapes definition. Even if we all want to belong to the centre, our real way of being expresses itself through the strangeness and precarity of what exits around it.<\/p>\nElvira Navarro<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The better life<\/em> is een onderzoeksproject dat uitgaat van het idee dat er iets ‘mist’ en ‘afwezig’ is bij de meeste dingen die we doen. Het ware leven (of zo men wil ‘het geluk’) bestaat in zekere zin slechts op afstand van waar we ons bevinden, als een hunkering naar iets dat we ni\u00e9t hebben en een verbeelding in ide\u00eble zin van het betere, schonere en duidelijkere. Van deze afwezige kern gaat altijd iets dreigends uit. Alsof alles wat errond beweegt slechts in onvolledigheid bestaat en nooit tot wasdom is gekomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Er wordt nagegaan in welke mate de perifere talen of de ‘secundaire’ artistieke takken van de podiumkunsten (zoals licht en muziek) zich tot de kernacties en de klassieke motoren ervan verhouden en hoe ze precies door hun perifere positie de kern van de zaak kunnen behandelen, namelijk de verbeelding van een centrum dat ons steeds ontglipt als een projectie naar wat nog ‘beter’ zou kunnen zijn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
