Eden Central / Phase 2
Eden Central / Phase 2 is again an ethnographic, folkloric, and frank performance, including executioners, plastic werewolves, cardinals, Yetis, hermaphrodite little red caps and an army of cannibalistic Wookies.
There will be no sound and light nor subtitles, but a big bonfire to light our trees and ferns.
Don't forget your plastic boots (crucifix, mobile phone and survival blanket), because it might rain in the forests.
For this Phase 2 of EdenCentral Manah Depauw drew beneficial inspiration from processions, the carnival in Aalst, the winter masquerade from Bulgaria and the Perchten of Austria. ... Not to mention the rituals of exorcism and collective penance.
