He/Him. 1997, Maastricht) is a Dutch-Iranian performer, composer, and director based in Brussels. His work integrates the moving body and electro-acoustic audio, existing at the intersection of sound art and physical theatre. Currently, Manuel explores the friction between technology and human consciousness. Using granular synthesis and live coding, he investigates how electronic tools can transcend the “thinking ego” to reconnect us with a deeper sense of self. TEACH ME playfully philosophizes about artificial intelligence, language and mimicry through performance and sound. Intrigued by the way technology is becoming more and more human, Manuel reads a sentimental romantic novel to a computer that is trained to imitate the contours of his voice. A game of imitation unfolds as words erode into one another. Together, human and machine slip from the narrated story into the lawlessness of electronic music. @mgreathousen manuelgroothuysen.com °*_^••#@+=••^%**%^••=+@#••^_*° 👾Giu is a multidisciplinary artist and facilitator whose work spans writing, poetry, crochet and knitting. Their practice is rooted in disability justice, trans and queer revolution, intersectional dream and nightmares, often exploring how we hold grief and joy in community. @giu_404 …∞÷≠÷…∞∞…≠^^€ô¨¨¨¨°°++§9>øÇ¡«¶ 👾Charlove Angel is a self-taught swiss performance artist based in Brussels since 2019. She’s been showing her work mainly as performative concerts, in all kinds of contexts (theaters, music venues, squats, galleries, radios), in Switzerland, France and Belgium. She’s staging herself as a femme body that emancipates itself through its affects. Her practice is primarily centered around the power of vulnerability and the need to change narratives. The aim is to reinvest the transformative power that comes from all forms of love, grounded in the pleasure of the present moment through music, poetry and performance. @charloveangel https://youtu.be/4zCiCY3hQuo?si=vQNRWof4zatLEbMF

As part of STADPLURAAL, this conversation explores how club culture can center access, care, and interdependence rather than treating inclusion as an afterthought. As sites of encounter, desire, and intimacy, clubs shape flirtation, sexuality, and relational dynamics through access — yet disabled realities are often overlooked. Drawing on an event by Montage, Club Dérive, and Dancefloor Intimacy (14/11/25, Recyclart), it opens broader questions about the future of club culture — and who it can be designed for.

Lamentations, 17 décembre 2025

Maya Angelou,l 1987, Lewisham Hippodrome. C'est de là que je m'inspire pour chaque performance de poésie. "Lamentations" est un extrait et un tout qui parle de sentiments longs et lourds. Une parole qui j'espère créera de la magie, des larmes, de la joie, de la reconnaissance. J'espère vous y voir sinon vous aurez au moins la trace d'un passage dans ma ville natale toujours ponctuée de poésie 💚

Ces derniers mois m'ont demandé des ressources que je ne pensais pas avoir, de l'endurance, de la persévérance, de la tendresse, de la patience de la foi. Je m'en sors ce matin en pleurant lors d'un long ride dans la vallée. Des journées ponctuées de doute et de lâcher prise. Une pratique nouvelle et ancestrale. Les douleurs, les rires, le tricot et surtout l'écriture, toujours. Des leçons et encore des leçons. Toujours étudiant de la vie. Merci @btwimhelma @_a.l.o.ii.s_ @claireolirenciadeville @khalto_layl Betel, @monosyllabitch de me tenir avec vos mains, vos meutes, vos marques de soutien.

Octobre pas le mois le plus facile et pourtant cette année je suis bien entouré.e. Paka nouvelle membre de ma meute depuis fin juillet. Elle câline et luisante. Le tricot occupe mes pauses, mes documentaires et évidemment les minutes qui précèdent des rendez-vous un peu stressant. Cette semaine je les enchaîne. Le #LeafhopperSweater devrait être fini ce soir 🦗 Hâte de pouvoir arpenter la vallée et les villes avec mes cicadelles 💚 #catlovers #tricot #knittersofinstagram #faitmain

Entre passion et patience, chaque maille raconte une histoire ! 🧶 Mon dernier projet : un chunky beanie moelleux tricoté main (patron : @passioknit_goods , laine Hobbii Tea Time couleur English Breakfast). Petit clin d’œil à mon univers, avec un pull unique orné d’insectes et la présence irrésistible de mon chat noir, fidèle aux fild de laines.

June - July : PINK 🩷 Finally finishing the Flurry Sweater @ullenknitwear Casting on, finishing, and blocking during the heatwave a custom gift for @nail.o.is / @_a.l.o.ii.s_ Leaving the sleeve island I was on with a finished Blueberry Cream Sweater @dropsdesign Mental and physical is hard but colours... They just make life more beautiful to wake up to. Chef designer : my baby gyal, Bero Broccoli Beignet

J'adore me tondre le crâne. C'est rassurant et apaisant. La concentration sur les sensations, le trop plein au sol, l'habitude retrouvée et des regards furtifs au miroir qui rassure. Hailaker - Labrador
