It is an iron law of history that those who will be caught up in the great movements determining the course of their own times always fail to recognise them in their early stages.
Stefan Zweig, The World of Yesterday, 1942.
Endgame Assembly focuses on the moment when a world ends and what comes next remains entirely unknown. It explores tipping points. These can result from loud explosions. But they can also emerge through imperceptible shifts, in moments when we still believe in the continuity of the world as we know it while the ground beneath us has already cracked. By the time we recognise the rupture, we are already living in something else.
Endgame Assembly is a long-term project developed with a core team of collaborators: Paula Almiron, Sonia Si Ahmed, and Jonas Rutgeerts. It has evolved through various public showings and experimental formats. For this latest phase, the team is joined by renowned Spanish artist María Jerez, who brings a striking new vision to the production’s spatial design and immersive installation.
