Animalia Paradoxa

In a dried-up sea, a humanoid amphibian searches for water amidst the ruins of a fallen world. The ground filled with plastic waste, inhabited by fantastic creatures, circus freaks, and a pink hand with overly long nails. In this dreamscape, the sound of gongs forms a heartbeat that navigates us as viewers within the eclectic labyrinth of our own debris and waste. Wrap yourself in this occult cocoon and sail over a sea of dried-up plastic.

A hopeless demise, or a build-up to a rebirth? Various art disciplines reach their peak in this intimate fantasy about the slow extinction of humanity.

Murf/Murw at the Broekhovense Kerk

This film screening is part of a series of three screenings for the 2024 edition of the Murf/Murw festival. Murf/Murw was founded in 2018 as a fanzine. Since 2020, they've organized a yearly festival in the city centre of Tilburg, focusing on experimental theatre, music, visual art, and film, each year with a new theme. This year's theme is The Ship of Theseus.

The films are screened at a special location, the Broekhovense kerk, a church building in Tilburg located at Bisschop Zwijsenstraat 3.
