Myriam Baroukh

Myriam Baroukh dismantles the checklist of modern life — exams, steady jobs, marriage, children, mortgages — to ask what remains once the boxes are ticked. With sharp, intimate stand-up, she navigates happiness, antidepressants, a difficult birth, artificial intelligence, urban wildlife and the strain of care and exile. Her voice mixes wry observation and emotional honesty, turning personal setbacks into wry, human comedy. Her rapid-fire anecdotes and unexpected images keep the audience off-balance, exploring empathy and absurdity.

Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
