The Raft

The Raft is an emergency theatre, created in response to the shutdown of cultural spaces during the Covid crisis and, more broadly, to the cultural policies of recent years. It is a modular space that lives through its occupation. A raft to meet, talk and imagine the future.

This project was created as part of a competition organised by the ATPS (Association of Professional Performing Arts Technicians) with the participation of UHasselt, Fine Arts Antwerp, Fine Arts of Liège, ESA St-Luc of Liège, St-Luc Atelier and, as selected school, ENSAV La Cambre. It won this competition and represented the Belgian student pavilion at the quadrennial of scenography in Prague 2023.PQ23
