In her new piece – of which she gave a preview at Korte Metten at Vooruit in February 2009 – Mette Edvardsen does something with books. Every visitor is given a book when entering the venue. The featured pictures blend with what happens on stage. Each page reaches out from the paper, into the theatre. As you browse the book, the story on stage unfolds. Space is a key theme for this Norwegian-Belgian artist, as illustrated by her show Or else nobody will know and her performance during the 2007 edition of the game is up! At this festival her interventions on the staircase and in the elevator made the audience aware of the space they were in and moved around in.
