In The OHNO Cooperation Conversation On The O.H.N.O.P.O.P.I.C.O.N.O. Ontology (2007) Maarten Seghers and Jan Lauwers discuss art and theatre. They live in an army tent and show themselves when necessary to ask questions through the medium of theatre, music or art.

This video was made for the SPIELART theatre festival in Munich. Under the title ‘What’s Next’, four internationally acclaimed artists were asked to introduce a young performer. The festival’s intention was, using a video dialogue, to explore the generation differences between the makers, together with their opinions on the future of theatre. Jan Lauwers and Maarten Seghers responded with this independent collective work.
