Lilit Hakobyan has been making a name for herself as an interdisciplinary artist since 2011. Her film work characterises her choreographic thinking, while in photography she specifically seeks out the dynamic moment of dance. Anne Jung, internationally recognised for her powerful and energetic dance vocabulary, also creates fascinating visual worlds. Emerging from the talent factory of the Nederlands Dans Theater in The Hague, she realised her first own choreography in 2016 in the programme ‹Switch by NDT Dancers›.

The most successful book by Marguerite Duras (1914–1996), in which she recounts—at least in part autobiographically—a socially unheard-of amour fou, is set in former Indochina during the French colonial era, in a large city shrouded in haze and heat. The main character is a young woman wearing an oversized men's hat and gold shoes. Her father died early, her mother is mentally unstable, and her brothers are highly problematic. The only ray of hope and escape from this family prison is her encounter with a rich Chinese man in a black limousine. It is a love that has no future and yet lasts a lifetime, transcending all conventions, even though the two never spoke again after the narrator left for Paris – except for a single phone call at the end.
