Details from previous post:
OPEN CALL: On the last weekend of June 2026, we (noï, Roya, and Kate) will host a multi-lingual gathering in Brussels, centred around poetic performance and wanting to live. We have a small budget* with which to pay four others to offer something in the realm of poetry and performance.
We do not need these offerings to be finished pieces, but we would like to imagine ourselves more attached to life after experiencing them/feel that the merciless format we find ourselves in has been slightly altered. Offerings could take a ceremonial form, or be silent, disgusting, erotic, grieving, singing, clowning, involve reading, involve a request of others present, involve something else. The offering should take around 2 hours, but let us know what your ideal timings would be.
Part of our criteria for choosing will be linguistic diversity, play with translation, and openness to misunderstanding.
The deadline is the 2nd May.

Big thank you to Ahmed and Jeanne at passaporta for translations, Sara Alfa for invaluable input and suggestions, and
@sarasaadf for the Arabic image.
*150 euros per offerer. We also have a small travel budget to support travel within Brussels.
