4x4

The edition of 4x4 on the 28th of January 2027, VIERNULVIER gives carte blanche to the Gyselinck siblings: Wannes (b. 1980; a writer who secretly wants to be a musician), Femke (b. 1983; a dancer who also secretly wants to be a musician) and Lander (b. 1987; a musician who secretly wants to be someone who isn't a musician, but secretly still wants to be one) at De Vooruit.

The thread running through this evening is an LP that formed the soundtrack of their youth: Solid Air (1973) by John Martyn. An album that blasted through the B&W speakers while father Gyselinck did the ironing and the three of them played, analogue. It is the soundtrack of an idyll and of a great, unknowable grief (though they do disagree on this). For this evening, each of them extends the family with three people from their own disciplines: theatre, dance and music. How, and with whom exactly, they will work still has to be figured out. What is certain is that this 4x4 will be the three of them (times three), their media (means), and their polyamorous relationship with each other's art forms.

About 4x4:
Artists are given carte blanche and may turn De Vooruit into their playground for one evening. Here they can open up their artistic universe, show their broad, layered or fragile practice, and enter into explosive collaborations with artists who fan their own flames. VIERNULVIER alternately invites makers from the performing arts and music worlds, but we are guaranteed to leave the classic, well-defined boxes behind!

Before the Gyselincks, carte blanche at De Vooruit went to Lieselot Siddiki, Johannes is zijn Naam and Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe.
