Constant enlightenment blinds us. Laura Eva Meuris is Belgian choreographer, artist, activist and dancer who is currently and continously working on her ongoing project Tracing the past, weaving the future. Within this project she emancipates the audience, challenges her collaborators and generates collective works by entangling, complicating, questioning, layering, tracking and sorting information which are challenging our bordered individualism and human exceptionalist ways of thinking. Laura took part in this year interdisciplinary residency Incubator in the castle in Žďár nad Sázavou and shares her mantra for sustainability in dimmed times.

Adrien was one of the participants in this year Incubator and shares his thoughts on this one week long journey.
