[ ? ] Sensibility
Sensibility is a new serie of experimental installations who will explore the area of emotions by using technology. Pushing forward all kinds of technology will not be the main goal but simple the way to create situations where the "audiance” can experience deeper layers of emotions.

Monday 27 January- Odysseus Raft

The Goddess Calypso provides Odysseus with the means and materials to construct a raft in order to sail homeward; however, Poseidon stands in his way. Odysseus Raft is a dynamic audio and visual environment controlled by the participants' relative position to each other. As in a raft, the audience is required to work together (or in opposition) to control a shared perspective of the sea... if not, the theatre could capsize and all hands lost. Ryan Parteka

Monday 29 January - The Tulse Luper Suitcase.

Who is Tulse Luper and what is this mystery about all those different suitcases he left behind?... This installation is based and inspired on Peter Greenaway’s new upcoming movie called “the Tulse Luper Suitcase”. The audiance will be dipped into his particular way of visual language, only this time the audiance will be the director. Experience the multi-linear storytelling by an interactive visiosonic installation....say what? Peter Greenaway, MxHz.org, Eduard von Lindheim & the Kasander Company

Monday 27 and Tuesday 18 January / 20:00 - 22:00 / Entrance: 5 Euro

Arab Filmfestival
A special preview of three movies from the Forthcoming edition of the Arab Filmfestival

Mabrouk At - Tahrir
Author: Dalia Fathallah
Director: Dalia Fathallah
Running time: 59'
Material : Digital Beta
Coproducers: INA, New TV(Lebanon), Images Plus
25 May 2000: After 22 Years of occupation, the Israeli army pulls out of Southern Lebanon. In a village less than ten kilometres from the border with Israel, two families share the same courtyard. One of the two houses has been empty since 5 January 1988, the day the Chahrour family was driven out. The sons of the Chahrour family were in the resistance movement, and both of them - like their mother and sister - have spent time in prison. How will daily life be organised in the courtyard, and in the village as a whole? How is it possible to construct the future when there is a constant threat that Israel could return? What memory and what kind of identity can a person bequeath to his or her children?

Tangier, the burners' dream
Author: Leïla Kilali
Director: Leïla Kilali
Running time: 53'
Material : Video, colour
Coproducers: INA, Vivement Lundi, France 3
Tangier is a window overlooking the straight of Gibraltar which provides the city an open identity. It is a crossroad of two worlds. The frontier in Tangier is a player in the life of the city. It is sporadically visible, tangible. You can feel it everywhere: it is the water. Across there is a line: Spain, the natural end of Europe. No need for fair weather to 'see' the Spanish coast. Europe is right there, close, evident, touchable, an eyeshot away.This documentary follows the adventures of three burners, Rhimo, Denis, and Aziz, their life or rather their survival and mostly the changing, complex, conflicting dark despairing dare devil or playful relation they keep to their life challenge: burning.

Paris at Ramadan Time
Author: Musthapha Hasnaoui
Director: Musthapha Hasnaoui
Running time: 82'
Material : Digital Beta 16/9
Coproducers: Arte France, INA
The ramadan of the first generation of immigrants was one of silence and discretion, almost to the point of invisibility. The immigrant family is no longer an inward-looking unit, in exile in a place seen as indifferent or hostile. Second ant third generation Muslims were born in France. It is their home. They are claiming back their original cultural identity, transmitted by their parents, and adapting it to the French way of life. What are the forms of expression today of a celebration which was once observed in discretion and silence? This is what this documentary sets out to observe, by following different generations of a family originating from the Maghreb during ramadan.

Barcode Live (Secret Cinema and Adriaan Lokman)

Barcode

The animation film Barcode (2000) is filmmaker Adriaan Lokman’s first independent film. Barcode is a road movie that takes the viewer through an abstract landscape of light and shadow. Barcode was screened very succesfully on more than 40 festivals throughout the world and was awarded the Grand Prix at the Annecy Animation Filmfestival and the Holland Animation Filmfestival.

Saturday 25 January - Barcode Live

Adriaan Lokman & Secret Cinema. Also featuring: Angelo & Urbi et Orbi
The performance will be filmed for DVD!

During work on the ‘city scene’ in the film Barcode, intense scenes were created which subsequently could not be fitted into the finished film. Filmmaker Adriaan Lokman with Secret Cinema DJ Jeroen Verheij collaborated to use these scenes and other fragments in a VJ project. Barcode Live has a strong, original concept and is genuinely live. Animations start at the push of a button, enabling live improvisation with the music. Unlike the film, Barcode Live is in full colour.

Saturday 25 January / 22:30 - 04:00 / Entrance: 10 Euro

Sunday Soundtrack - State of Monc
view act in program | go to act website | reserve a ticket for act

State of Monc
State of Monc's music scores at Cuckoo's Nest special Sunday Soundtrack event! State of Monc operates on the thin line that divides electronic music from a more acoustic approach. Integrating the rigid sound of computers with the flexibility of acoustic instruments. Acknowledged by an increasing fine establishment of international jazz trend watchers State of Monc is seen as the Dutch answer to Eric Truffaz - 'however more colorful', and Nils Petter Molvaer - 'only more exciting and raw' (Edo Dijksterhuis - NRC Handelsblad). Inspired by legendary experimental jazz musicians as Miles Davis, core State of Monc contributor's, which are Arthur Flink (trumpet), Hielke Praagman (button pusher and knob turner), Kasper Kalf (double bass), Paul de Jong (guitar) and Arthur Lijten (drums), presented their debut album 'Hand to Mouth' last year, which was a "heet broodje" for weeks in the hottest music stores everywhere.

Sunday 26 January - sunday soundtrack
While working on their second album (out this year!) State of Monc delivers a live music score during the first part of tonight's Cuckoo's Nest special event. The musicians accompany a fresh cut potpourri of uncomfortable and alienating yet amusing movie quotes. Through their sequence the images will tell a whole new story, thus creating an absurd unity. Beerenbroek+ Beerenbroek, not related, will collect and present the first visual part, Robert Beckand will accompany State of Monc's latter live gig with some iron strong visuals. An abstruse night guaranteed (indoor only).
