What did I just see? Keep on talking!

A performance at Julidans is never just a night out. What you see on stage can move, confuse, confront, or touch you – and it rarely leaves you untouched. But how do you put into words something you've mostly felt? How do you talk about an experience expressed through movement and atmosphere? Especially for this edition, Julidans created a set of conversation cards to help you reflect and connect. You'll find them in the café of the theater where you've just witnessed something extraordinary.

What did I just see?

Not every performance can be summed up with a simple “It was nice” or “Interesting.” Sometimes you want to go beyond “Did you like it?” but the right words escape you. That’s where these cards come in. With twenty-four thought-provoking questions, they invite you to look back together. Questions like: “Which emotion stays with you after this performance?” or “What do you think this piece says about the world we live in?” help spark a deeper dialogue. One that explores art, feeling, and meaning.
-|-You don’t need to be an expert to be moved by dance. But because dance speaks without language, it can be challenging to talk about it. These cards offer a starting point to reflect, discover, and share what you’ve experienced. They turn the post-show conversation into an extension of the performance itself, a moment of connection, reflection, and maybe even surprise.
