@eager_laura (UK)  is a Visual artist, originally from England and currently based in Amsterdam, where In 2023 she graduated from the Audio Visual department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Laura’s artistic practice uses performative scenarios, films and audio works, to research the relationship between the spectator, director and performer at the intersection between real life and ‘stage’, fusing public spaces with white cubes, or black boxes. Her projects evolve through the staged encounters and performative happenings that she places herself and others in, to explore the borders of what is public and private, reality and fiction, and uncover the perceptions of the everyday.

Cross Roads, (Act 1) FAKE TAXI is the first outcome of an ongoing documented performance in a taxi ride, revealing the encounters that take place between a real taxi driver, a passenger and a spectator. In a semi-fictional narrative, visual artist Laura Eager is learning to become a taxi driver, with theatre maker Rosa Gooij directing the act. Using film, audio and performance they investigate the public and private entries of a taxi, and the encounters that take place. Arrive by 19:00 for an opening performance and join us for drinks until 22:00. We look forward to seeing you there. Warmly Laura Eager & Rosa Gooij ⭐(Act 1) FAKE TAXI is made in collaboration with the Taxi Drivers of Kortrijk | Sammy Boy, Danny Boy, Mr Big Boss, Sergei, Stefano, Mercedes Benz Man, Baguette Man, The Uber, and Blue car.
