PROJECT
Recipients: people with addiction disorders

“Playing is what it is all about. Playing is what we will do. Our method is playing – say Aurelie Di Marino and Nele Vereecken –. Playing is the only way to relate with the world: a cure for stuckness, a discipline of disorder, an antidote for poisonous distrust, a politics of desires, a search for unavoidable questions, a quest for non- obvious truths.

Playing for love.
Playing for life”.
