“Precarity is the condition of being vulnerable to others. Unpredictable encounters transform us; we are not in control, even of ourselves. Unable to rely on a stable structure of community, we are thrown into shifting assemblages, which remake us as well as others. We can’t rely on the status quo; everything is in flux (…)”
– Anna L. Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World
“(…) if people would simply rub their palms together just once, and comprehend that mysterious skin-to-skin contact fully, their understanding of the world would be better.”
– Shokoofeh Azar, The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree
Met het project en collectief NOON creëeren we een reeks performatieve installaties die verbeelding als een tool gebruikt om samen te komen, om elkaar te ontmoeten.
NOON vertrekt steeds vanuit het lichaam. Het bewustzijn van – en de connectie met – ons lichaam zou de eerste stap kunnen zijn om de mens, opnieuw maar anders, met hun omgeving/met de natuur te verbinden. Eerder door de realisatie dat we er hoe dan ook deel van uitmaken. We proberen naar de wereld te kijken vanuit een ander perspectief, het perspectief van een lichaam dat deel is van een groter systeem en enkel één van de vele wezens binnen deze wereld, die elk op een andere specifieke manier afhankelijk zijn van elkaar.
NOON III probeert een wereld te creëeren waarin verschillende wezens afhankelijk zijn van elkaar, een wereld die in constante transformatie is. Hier zoeken we naar een moment om elkaar te ontmoeten, een moment om samen te verbeelden, dansen en rusten.

With the project and young collective NOON we create a series of performative installations in which imagination is used as a tool to connect, to come together.
NOON always departs from the bodies. The awareness of – and connection with – our body could be the first step to connect human beings with their environment – again, but differently, and who knows – with each other. We are trying to look at the world and at ourselves from a different perspective, the perspective of a body which is part of a bigger system and one of the many creatures within this world, all in certain specific ways dependent on each other. Within the different performances we continue our search.
NOON III tries to create a world where different creatures are dependent on each other, a world which is constantly transforming. Here we are looking for a moment to encounter you, to pay attention to one another / to imagine, dance and rest together.
