(im)Possible Futures Festival: 11-23.03, Ghent, Belgium

MP

During (im)Possible Futures, an arts festival with an eye to the future, Vooruit and CAMPO, in collaboration with Ghent University , embark on a quest for the boundaries of imagination, removing blinders, thinking out of the box and turning jammers on or off. In times in which we seem to roll from one crisis into the next, the importance of imagination remains more crucial than ever.

(im)Possible Futures breaks free from the boundaries of our stages, taking to the streets, setting up our own school and enriching the nightlife for the purpose of bringing people and ideas together and of building new worlds, even – or maybe especially – if at first they seem (and maybe are) impossible to reconcile.

(im)Possible Futures is an attempt at defining the role of art and ideas during a time in which they seem to fall short on their power to change the world. The festival doesn’t claim to have all the answers but is an invitation to join in an exercise of the imagination: how (im)possible can the future be? It is up to us, to you and to the artists to define that.

The (im)Possible Stage section shows artists at work on and off our stages. Each in their own way they explore the confrontation with the (im)possible. Whether on a Vooruit stage or in one of CAMPO's rooms, the artists of (im)Possible Futures will make you face the present, the past, the future, fears, violence, technology, nature and loneliness, all the while surpassing your wildest expectations. The (im)Possible Stage aims to be international, innovative and alarming!
