The chair, the wig and the sheep: The portable universe

Rosa Vrij

Friday 28 Augustus 2026

Artist Rosa Vrij guides you through her fictional universe, contained in a suitcase, which literally unfolds through handmade miniatures, comic strips, and documents. The diorama performance is a crossover between a miniature exhibition, storytelling, a graphic novel, and a tabletop RPG. And above all: an ode to the imagination!

What if a country were run by a shady CEO Mr. Sheep, who has his office in a billiards room? What if furniture weren’t objects, but people in acrobatic poses? What if teenagers were trained to capture their identity in a catchy name and a wig? What if the government awarded prizes through competitive Wig Games? Welcome to the absurdist world of The chair, the wig, and the sheep: The portable universe.
