A new performance by Sander Breure and Witte van Hulzen

Setting: night.
A woman is still awake.
She is alone.
Her face is lit by her phone.

What she is looking at remains unknown:
war footage, her own childhood photos, or advertisements.
She might be reading a novel.
Maybe she is recording a video of herself for social media.

We can only guess by watching her face,
and by what we think we see in it:
doubt? anger? jealousy? desire?
How many facial expressions are there?

In the Face of 2026 is a choreography of facial expressions.
It explores what a face can express,
by attempting to strip the face of its meaning.

In this performance, Breure and Van Hulzen touch on contemporary themes of loneliness, estrangement, and addiction, using the everyday image of a figure in front of a screen, watching herself: a retelling of the myth of Narcissus, in the face of 2026.

In the Face of 2026 will be performed by Klara Alexova
