BENCH INVASION
at the Bruges Triennial
In this pop-up performance by Compagnie KRAK, 10 people set off into the city carrying a bench. Along the way, they invite random passers-by to join them in building the bench and sitting on it. A conversation ensues. They listen, they pay attention, they are present. At the end of each encounter, they invite that person to come to the closing moment later that day. After each meeting, they take their bench apart again and resume their journey.
Bruges 2030 has organised three Bench Invasions, one at Adrien Tirtiaux's artwork for the Bruges Triennial, one at Regina Coeli residential care centre and a Bench Invasion Junior with primary school De Tandem.
