For two whole years, in a small studio above the main auditorium at the KVS, Jozef Wouters has delved into the history of scenography. What does scenography mean today? What kinds of places or landscapes are relevant in this era? He established a temporary Decoratelier: a motley crew of builders, thinkers, former sailors, and a retired landscape painter. The group asked various artists what kind of scenery they would like to see depicted in the theatre today. Each conversation yielded an ‘infini’ – traditionally, a painted backdrop that evokes a space inside the theatre, a horizon for the imagination. Following a first performance in 2015, Decoratelier will present a redoubled collection in a new form on the big stage at the KVS in May. The INFINI project is a conversation between Decoratelier and a classical theatre building – between makers, builders, spectators, actions, and space. The result is a heterogeneous performance in which, for three full days, the entire collection of infinis has the theatre machine spinning at full speed and setting the viewing machine into motion.
