Basically

Coproduction 2023

In their durational live project Basically, Nikima Jagudajev harnesses the choreography of play to draw visitors into the intermediary spaces of WIELS. Jagudajev's worldbuilding is shaped together with a group of artists, creating a hybrid space that incorporates live music, food, a deck of cards and nonlinear dance choreographies that fold in on themselves like portals through time. Performers and visitors share this slippery universe.
