> For the duration of one weekend De Appel is Janus-faced: looking back 
> to past achievements and looking forward to unrealized possibilities. 
> Theo Tegelaers, interim director of De Appel and Ann Demeester, newly 
> appointed director compiled a programme that connects ‘then’, ‘now’ 
> and the yet undefined ‘later’.
>   
>  With a polyphonic talk show including a large number of guests and 
> hosts the history of De Appel is turned into a palpable experience 
> rather than a series of written documents and photographs. A 
> presentation by academic Marga van Mechelen and a lecture by French 
> curator Guillaume Désanges shed a new light on the origins of De Appel 
> as a performance-based space set up by Wies Smals in 1975. The 
> production ‘Show Dance’ by Swiss-Greek choreographer Alexandra 
> Bachzetsis explores the shadowland between conceptual dance, visual 
> arts performance and hints at the future collaboration between De 
> Appel and the festival ‘If I Can’t Dance’ in Autumn 2006.
