Rantsoen

“Nereye gidiyorsun? 
Waar ga je heen? 
Where are you going to?” 

Rantsoen (ration in Flemish) was a meal-based performance – a similar form to EatEat – made in collaboration with Victoria and Victoria Deluxe in Ghent, Belgium.

Audience and performers sat together around a circular 7m diameter table in a storage shed.  Renny O’Shea collaborated with a creative team of UK and Belgian artists.  The piece was created with newcomers to Gent during a 3 month residency.  The 10 performers originated from Belgium, Bosnia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Iran, Kurdistan, Togo and Turkey.

Audiences linger for hours after Rantsoen
