Menzo Kircz en Eleonore Van Godtsenhoven

Our world is constantly under (re)construction. Old places are being knocked down and have to make way for new blocks of flats, cafes or shops. And when those old buildings disappear, so too do the stories they once housed. 

‘residu’ reconstructs these lost histories with whatever remains: things left on the street, a message on the wall, the detritus of the past and the imagination that finds its way through it all. 

Theatremakers Eleonore Van Godtsenhoven and Menzo Kircz take on the role of alternative archaeologists. They make assumptions and invent details where they see fit, quite unbothered if that means contradicting themselves or history in the process. Both are fascinated by the seemingly worthless and the playing field between imagination and the past.
