In residence: Charlotte Goesaert

In BAKENEKO, performer and creator Charlotte Goesaert herself takes the stage in a physical solo about how trauma becomes embedded in the body—invisible to the outside world, yet decisive from within. The performance exposes the latent traces of child abuse and neglect, while simultaneously questioning the mechanisms that perpetuate them.

Based on conversations with people who encounter this theme through their social roles, Goesaert interweaves their voices, images, and sounds with the expressive presence of her own body. This creates a compelling scenic experience in which documentary elements and physical imagination challenge each other.
