This season, KVS invites Brussels-based artists to dress up our BOXBAR with new and exciting visual work. The exhibitions offer a complementary perspective to our stage program and engage in dialogue around themes such as legacy, trauma, care and identity. From Oct. 30 to Dec. 5, discover Throw Me Back Into the Waters by Sofie Anny Nicea. 

Throw Me Back Into the Waters dives into memory, trauma, and renewal. Each painting reflects a longing to return to a freer state, where past constraints dissolve and a sense of calm emerges.

“As a child, water was my sanctuary—a space where time slowed and I felt truly alive and untethered. This collection arises from a newly understood old trauma, once mistaken for a dream. My father helped me see it as real, reshaping how I hold my past. It also explores inherited trauma from my grandparents—experiences that still reverberate. These works reflect my struggle to leave behind both personal and ancestral wounds, to rediscover lost freedom.”

Visit the exhibition from Monday till Friday during the opening hours of KVS BOX and KVS Café (10h00 till 16h00), and from 19h30 on performance days in KVS BOX.
