1987 - VOL VAN GRATIE

Ensemble

The main characters are two innocent nuns. In a shop in the city (a sex shop, but they are not aware of it)…. they buy candles (actually dildos, but they don't know anything like that) and light them in the church of their monastery. The result is suffocating black smoke. The nuns go back to the shop to complain. The salesperson whispers the real position to them and gives each of them a new one. Back in the monastery, the nuns now also achieve supreme bliss on earth. Their fellow sisters soon find their way to the "candle shop".

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
