De Facto

Off the Map at AINSI, Maastricht

De Facto was never closer to the Dutch border as at theater AINSI, Maastricht. With a mini-lecture by border professor Henk van Houtum, dance by Limburg performers Zoë Greten and Bo Jacobs. And: journalist Jorie Horsthuis about Nagorno-Karabakh, graphic designer Floor Koomen about fake islands in the South-China Sea and researcher Suzanne Hendriks with an exhilarating quiz.
