Body as Document – De Markten, Brussels
Internationally acclaimed theatre-maker Sanja Mitrović invites performers from different disciplines — dancers, actors, spoken word artists, circus artists, and others — to participate in a unique series of workshops exploring the body as a site of memory, identity and transformation. In 2025, several sessions will be held, including a residency period at De Markten in Brussels.
