Starvation Experiment

May 19th till May 25th 13:00-18:00

People starve themselves for different reasons: political activism, religion, weight loss, eating disorders, long life, research or just curiosity. This week Arne Hendriks invites you to fast together with him, whatever your reasons may be. Personally he's looking to ovecome his fear of hunger, as well as initiate a desire for less. Join us for a few hours, or a few days and share your personal experiences as we investigate what hunger is or visit one of our lectures, performances and workshops on the abstinence from food, and the embrace of hunger.
