A cross between swinging jazz, pop idioms and a dash of classical music supported by an abstract poetry and the power of suggestion in self-made movies.

Today is yesterday and tomorrow. Each step we made yesterday has influenced today’s world. Whether we think about tomorrow or not, we influence it. Stef Kamil Carlens, Aarich Jespers and Zita Swoon Group are performing with instrumental music and a video installation.

"NOW is, after Dancing With The Sound Hobbyist, the next step in what Zita Swoon Group wants to be doing more of: performances based on music, but which are a combination of theatre, dance and visual work. In NOW, man is central. Man comes to this world, eats, drinks, plays, builds, organizes and procreates. He creates his own world within this world without considering the past or the future or the other inhabitants, even if they are of his own kind. That same human is a victim of the ghosts of his actions. Using the interaction between the music and images we want to tell the audience something in a poetic way about living during a crucial time. About the many voices pointing out how important a change is and that it’s not too late to think up and organize a new world. But also about how the old world, the way it’s turning, is unstoppable and disaster seems inevitable. The music echoes sounds from the past: The Shadows, Pinguin Café orchestra and Brian Eno."
