“I am interested in the sense of responsibility, which I put in the hands of children: their firm belief in their visions and ideas of the future. I believe in a utopia-in-the-making as a social objective, even if it remains intangible and incomprehensible.” – Francesca Grilli

How often do you completely surrender to a child?

Sparks creates a space where the usual power relationships between the child and the adult are inverted. The children become oracles; bearers of mystical knowledge; wielders of magical powers.

As you enter the space, you encounter a community of oracles, including, for the Fierce festival edition, the artist’s daughter. Their faces are hidden behind masks but you can hear their voices. How does it feel to have a child tell you your destiny?

This event is presented as part of our Flanders Focus.

This is a limited capacity event and therefore is not part of the ticket discount scheme.

This event is for audiences 18+ only.
