From December 2008 we’ll keep it short, literally and figuratively speaking. One evening of Korte Metten shows you what usually can’t be shown in one evening: short performances, musical interventions, video, installations, readings, action and reaction…
Vooruit’s Korte Metten is a hothouse for all things small, short, temporary, hybrid or improvised, an open day for creative minds, adventures in the evening hours!
