The Performance Agency curated the music and performance program for the 30 year anniversary of KW with a series celebrating the conversation’s singular transformative potential. Inspired by the institution’s history as a venue for production and dialogue, the iconic courtyard was activated as a space and time for togetherness. All along the weekend, a diversity of voices rose and mingled: from little confidences told in private to grandiloquent polyphonic declamations, artists, cultural practitioners and art workers alike - most of whom were linked to the history of KW - indulged in sharing their manifold stories with the audience, and collected new ones in return.
