VITAMINA is a fascination for raw human behaviour, directed by Alessandra Ferreri and Joshua Vanhaverbeke. We see our work as an attempt to process modern existence, driven by a particular interest in representations of the obscene and the display of excess in all its forms.
Alessandra Ferreri was born in Italy in 1988 where she received a very Catholic education. At the age of 8 she started drawing by copying the cartoon characters she watched on TV and around the same age, while in a friend’s attic, she discovered pornography and was immediately fascinated by it. After receiving a degree in literature and philosophy and a Master’s degree in direction and scenography, she developed her own artistic work in which she likes to perceive the stage as a sacred place ready to overflow. A container in which one can try to capture the present moment.
Joshua Vanhaverbeke was born in Oostende in 1993 and studied at the LUCA Academy in Ghent, which he left without graduating. He is now a sound and light designer and focuses his work on the possible relationship between installation and choreographic practices.
