WELCOME TO 'SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT'
INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL IN GHENT
WED 20.02 - SAT 02.03
Dear friend of Vooruit,
During the last two weeks of February (Wednesday 20th February until Saturday 2nd March) Vooruit, NTGent, CAMPO, Gouvernement, Black Speaks Back and the Africa Platform of the Ghent University and Africalia join forces for a multi-disciplinary festival: SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT. We aim to explore global questions of colonisation and decolonisation, identity and geopolitical economics. Taking this collaboration as a starting point we present a new sequel of last year's JUST A GOOD PROGRAM and a prequel to a larger city festival in 2020.
The festival presents a mix of performance, dance, theatre, talks and music with a particular attention to the African continent and the global South. Here below you'll find a fine selection of Belgian and international artists. Triggered by these must sees? If you would like to attend one of the shows, please feel free to contact us.
