In 2019, The Vigil really takes an international turn : the project comes to life in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, near Rotterdam. The Dordrecht Vigil shelter, designed by Benjamin Tovo has been installed on the roof of the EnergieHuis, a former electricity factory, now a cultural venue partly occupied by the Kunstmin, alongside the conservatory and a concert hall.

Traces

“Stop trying to chase time. The reassuring release of that moment of wonder, without conclusion. It was just for a moment. And then it’s over. You appear and disappear. In between, there is probably some time...”
– Eva van Pelt, Spring 2020

Soundscapes
Every 3 months over the year, a unique sound score is created by sound designer Peter Crosbie, featuring readings of the Vigil Texts and onsite sounds recorded especially for the occasion. Joanne Leighton invites her dancers to perform on these soundscapes as part of the quarterly Sharing Evenings.
