Lotte van den Berg’s productions move between dance, theatre and film and work with both professional and amateur actors. In 2014, she founded Third Space, a small and highly flexible organization based in Amsterdam, where she currently realizes her work. Together with visual artist Daan't Sas she initiated the long-term project, Building Conversation here, among others. Since its inception, Building Conversation has evolved into an international artist collective, which is fascinated by what happens when people begin to converse. Van den Berg is now collaborating with Alicja Kwade for the first time. The visual artist's work is inspired by philosophical, scientific and social issues. In her sculptures, she negotiates models and constructions for the perception of reality in order to question the possibilities of subjective and objective knowledge. Together, the two artists now get up close and personal with Toshio Hosokawa's work Matsukaze and the cosmos of opera.
