Lake Street DiveMusicLake Street DiveWith singer Rachael Price, bassist Bridget Kearney, drummer Mike Calabrese, keyboardist Akie Bermiss and guitarist James Cornelison, they form a close-knit five-piece band. Together they create music that can be both energetic and festive as well as intimate and introspective. Their live performances are known for their powerful dynamics and the warm connection they build with their audience.In 2024, they released their most recent album, Good Together, produced by Grammy winner Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark Jr., among others) and recorded in Tennessee. The album explores themes such as love, joy and self-care, and sounds particularly sincere and authentic thanks to the personal experiences of the band members. A highlight is the dreamy closing track Set Sail (Prometheus & Eros), a duet between Rachael Price and Akie Bermiss that beautifully underscores the close bond within the group and invites listeners to continue seeking love and connection despite life's challenges.Saturday · 17 October · 19:00 – 22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brussels New date: MICHAMusicNew date: MICHADutch singer-songwriter presents debut albumSaturday · 17 October · 19:00 – 22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brussels FLORIAN LEXTheatreFLORIAN LEXFlorian Lex – Imparfaits Durée : 1h30 All audiences from 12 years old Authors and staging: Florian Lex and Yohann Lavéant Un show in which you will inevitably recognize yourself.

Larry Grenadier & Walter Smith IIIMusicBill Stewart Trio ft. Larry Grenadier & Walter Smith IIIThe Bill Stewart trio, with Larry Grenadier and Walter Smith III, counts among the most exciting groups on the current jazz and improvised music scene. In recent years, the group has performed twice for a one-week residency at the famous New York club Village Vanguard and has recorded an album titled Band Menu. Bill Stewart and Larry Grenadier share a long musical history, notably within the groups of Pat Metheny (from 1999 to 2000, then again in 2008) and John Scofield (1996-1997), as well as in numerous recording sessions. Bill Stewart met Walter Smith III during a recording session for the pianist Danny Grissett and was immediately won over by the saxophonist's singular sound and his very personal approach to music.

Bringing together works for harp and electronics across centuries and aesthetics, this concert explores music not as a fixed object, but as an experience that comes into being through listening. Sound unfolds in relation to memory, attention, space, and time. Resonances linger beyond their source. Familiar gestures return altered. What we hear is shaped as much by perception as by the notes themselves. At the centre of the programme is Pulitzer Prize finalist Leilehua Lanzilotti’s from darkness, visible light is the bright mind, a work inspired by James Turrell’s immersive light environments. Like Turrell’s installations, the music invites a heightened awareness of subtle change, where the smallest shifts in colour, texture, and resonance transform the listener’s sense of duration and place. Historical and contemporary voices enter into dialogue throughout the programme. Fragments of the past are heard alongside newly created works, not as opposites but as reflections of one another. Acoustic and electronic sounds intertwine, revealing continuities across time and suggesting that every act of creation is also an act of transmission. For Artonov’s theme We Do Not Work Alone, the programme proposes a simple thought: no artwork exists in isolation. Music emerges through a web of relationships— between composers and performers, past and present, sound and silence, artwork and audience. The listener is not merely a witness, but an active participant in the creation of meaning. In this space of shared attention, perception itself becomes a form of collaboration.Saturday · 17 October · 19:30 – 20:15Maison Pelgrims · Brussels Monseigneur + Diego Straz + AverageMusicMonseigneur + Diego Straz + AverageMonseigneur - Sharp guitar riffs, vocals in French. A wide range of influences, from Led Zeppelin to Bashung... Diego Straz is a versatile artist, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. His music blends the energy of hard-hitting rock with deeply poetic lyrics. Average is a French-speaking indie rock quartet from Brussels that blends alternative rock energy, hip-hop influences and four-part vocal harmonies within a dark, uncompromising aesthetic.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 23:59MOTOWN concerts · Brussels Belgian National Orchestra & StockhammerMusicBelgian National Orchestra & StockhammerThis is not a standard concert, but a total experience in which music and image merge to fully immerse the audience. Sound becomes space; time becomes tangible. And at the heart of this multisensory performance lies an essential question: what challenges does nuclear waste pose today, tomorrow and beyond?For this project, acclaimed young Belgian filmmaker Dimitri Sterkens creates a new film in which image and music do not illustrate one another, but intensify each other. In collaboration with NIRAS/ONDRAF (the National Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Materials), this unique project addresses issues of temporality, vulnerability and legacy for future generations.From the pulsing drive of Jessie Montgomery's Starburst to the hushed tension of Philip Glass' String Quartet, each composition opens a new dimension of listening. Penderecki's searing Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima cuts to the core, while Max Richter's November expose an almost unbearable vulnerability. Between motion and stillness, between threat and contemplation, a sonic landscape unfolds - one that resonates with our time, our world, and the one we will leave to the next generations.Thanks to the players of the National Lottery and to the Tax Shelter of the Federal Government of Belgium through Gallop Tax Shelter.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 22:00Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels Concert: BAERTMANMusicConcert: BAERTMANPieter Baert, instructor at the Academie van Sint-Agatha-Berchem, built a versatile career within and outside the jazz and world scene, with collaborations with, among others, Stef Kamiel Carlens, Teun Verbruggen and SonBacàn. He played on international stages, including Carnegie Hall (New York), and developed a lyrical, sound-oriented piano style in which improvisation is central. His music is rooted in tradition, but always seeks out experiment. His solo album Tinten was released in 2021. Jan Heirman developed within an urban and electronic context with projects such as M.CHUZI, Okkupeerder and MeyanDR. He works with beats, textures and live electronics, always with room for spontaneity. In Baertman improvisation forms the starting point. Compositions arise from interaction and dialogue. This is handmade music. The generation difference between both musicians is not a contradiction, but a motor. Baertman sounds energetic and urban, but at the same time vulnerable and spiritual — a search for nuance, layering and connection in a time of sharp positions. For lovers of Stuff, The Bad Plus, Schntzl.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 21:30GC De Kroon · Brussels ShunGu + NEXCYIAMusicShunGu + NEXCYIA"I've always dreamed of making an album where I could bring together artists I deeply admire, curating voices, energies, and sensibilities that have inspired me,” says Brussels-born producer and multidisciplinary artist ShunGu of his acclaimed 2025 record, Faith in the Unknown. Tonight he presents that collective and cosmic voyage live, accompanied on stage by Ruqqiyah, Mejiwahn and Wonky Logic. Expanding that dialogue between what we know and what we don't, ShunGu invited worldwide wanderer NEXCYIA to open the stage. Both musicians know from experience that in the spaces where trust, risk, and vulnerability intersect, something entirely new can emerge. Something that invites us to stop and smell the stars together. 20:00 (doors) 20:45 NEXCYIA 22:15 Shungu & band 00:00 (end) https://youtu.be/3N5NLnBjmWY?si=VZcYL8Y3NCUf9b5w NEXCYIA NEXCYIA is the solo project of Adam Dove, a Paris-born, Berlin based American sound artist and sound designer. His work might be described as outsider ambient, blending underground experimental music with sound design, textural soundscapes, and sound mangling techniques. Moving through shifting samples, moods and emotional registers, he explores themes of otherness and belonging. Through dense layering and continuous audio manipulation, he creates ever-evolving pieces that draw listeners into a sonic journey, eschewing the over-visited constraints of a tempo grid. NEXCYIA has performed and exhibited work at major venues, contemporary art spaces, and festivals across the US, UK and Europe, including the Barbican Centre, ICA, Café OTO and much more. He has established a strong presence in the ambient music scene, with features in Fact Magazine, The Wire, and Crack Magazine, with appearances on Resident Advisor, NTS and BBC Radio. Label releases can be found on Good Morning Tapes, Haunter Records, Hivern Discs, 29Speedway, Paralaxe Editions, Takuroku and more, with a collection of self-releases on Bandcamp and Nina. NEXCYIA will be making his Belgian debut on this ECHO TREE evening. instagram.com/nexcyia https://youtu.be/PmLVZf88WsA?si=mS8Gs7JcmjDnBpJF ShunGu Maybe Brussels’ most enigmatic music prophet ShunGu is forever in transformation. Under the name Senga, he is an accomplished producer and beatmaker who has worked with the likes of Dreamcastmoe, Quelle Chris en Fly Anakin, and knows how to elevate dance floors into sacred spaces through tantalizing MPC-driven live sessions of Detroit-infused house. Under his own name, ShunGu has quietly carved out a unique place in the subterranean music scene, blending jazz-infused sampling with cosmic grooves, bridging the worlds of hip-hop, jazz, psych-rock, and house with the intellectual curiosity and playful creativity of a tireless sound architect. In 2025 ShunGu released his highly anticipated album, Faith in the Unknown, on the legendary Lex Records, with a surefire roster of collaborators including Pink Siifu, Liv.e, and Fatima,to name but a few. His latest alias dj Echotree and the eponymous label/platform are dedicated to the more introspective, legacy-oriented and interdisciplinary side of his artistic practice. Considering the impressive series of mixtapes, albums, radio shows and live gigs to his name, the only constant for this next chapter might be that you’ll be using your mind, your memory and most of all your heart to experience it to the fullest. instagram.com/shungu_senga shungujazz.bandcamp.com/Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 01:00Beursschouwburg · Brussels Flamenco Tablao!

For reservations send to to info2@art-base.beSaturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 23:00Art Base · Brussels MANOU GALLOMusicMANOU GALLOIvorian bassist, singer and composer Manou Gallo has built a unique musical language where West African rhythms meet funk, jazz fusion and raw groove. After arriving in Europe in 1997, she became the bassist of Zap Mama, touring extensively across Europe and the US, before developing her own projects from 2003 onwards. Along the way, she has shared music and stages with figures such as Marcus Miller, Bootsy Collins and Manu Dibango. A bass player’s bass player, Manou approaches the instrument as rhythm, melody and percussion at once. From the freedom of Jaco to the funk heritage of Bootsy and Marcus Miller, these influences meet her own African roots to create something deeply personal: Afro fusion driven by bass and groove. At Sounds, expect a stripped-back and powerful dialogue between bass, voice and drums, with African guitar and flute textures moving through funk, fusion and polyrhythmic grooves.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 23:59Sounds Jazz Club · Brussels Rojah Lao + TralalabandMusicRojah Lao + TralalabandRojah Lao + Tralalaband Rojah is a self-taught and multidisciplinary artist.

Accompanied by his band Tralala, he guarantees an energetic and authentic concert.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 22:00GC Ten Noey · Brussels Marlene Kuntz // European TourMusicMarlene Kuntz // European TourMarlene Kuntz are one of the most influential names in Italian alternative rock. Released on April 26, 1996, Il Vile remains the album that defined their sound and their legacy — jagged, distorted guitars, melodies suspended between shadow and light, and lyrics that fell like stones while rising like visions. Ranked among Rolling Stone Italia's 100 greatest Italian albums of all time, the record transformed unease and fragility into a new language, where pain became beauty and anguish became collective song. Thirty years later, that urgency hasn't faded. To mark the anniversary, the band brings the album back to life on stage with the tour "Marlene Kuntz suona Il Vile," a journey through the record track by track across some of Italy's finest clubs — a collective ritual that reignites its original flame for a new generation of listeners, while honoring the fans who never stopped recognizing themselves in its notes.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 22:00Pilar · Brussels The Spilliaert Trio – works by Mozart, Mel Bonis and César FranckMusicThe Spilliaert Trio – works by Mozart, Mel Bonis and César FranckFormed in Brussels, the Spilliaert Trio owes its name and initial inspiration to the Belgian painter Léon Spilliaert (1881–1946). It comprises pianist Gauvain de Morant, violinist Jean-Samuel Bez and cellist Guillaume Lagravière. The Spilliaert Trio is an affiliate member of Chamber Music for Europe, a laureate of the Royaumont Foundation, a member of the Dimore del Quartetto network in Italy, and part of the Proquartet ensembles in Paris. They are featured in the Art et Vie catalogue of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Their first album, released on Cyprès Records (2021), is dedicated to a complete recording of the trios by the composer Désiré Pâque. In 2021, they made the very first recording of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Trio 1848. In 2022, they released a second album, on the Cybele label, featuring the complete trios by Jacqueline Fontyn, followed by ‘Augusta’ in 2024, a Belgian-Irish project centred on Augusta Holmès (LP), and finally ‘Alchemy’, their fourth album, a complete recording of the trio music by Alex de Taeye and Lucie Vellère, due to be released on Cypres in 2026. The Trio has made it its mission to perform and champion the Belgian repertoire, with the support of the Musicabel association, by including a work by a Belgian composer in every concert. In 2023, this commitment was recognised with the FUGA Prize, awarded by the Union of Belgian Composers. Keen to showcase contemporary music, the three musicians are dedicated to performing the music of our time, creating new works and collaborating with festivals such as Belgian Music Days and Osmose. The Trio regularly commissions new works, notably from Jan Kuijken, Alithéa Ripoll and Nicolas Bacri. It has also contributed to performances in collaboration with theatre and dance companies, and created the show *Monsieur Pâque* for the Jeunesses Musicales de Wallonie-Bruxelles. Having won several prizes in international competitions, the Spilliaert Trio notably won First Prize at the Svirél International Competition in Slovenia and the City of Lège-Cap-Ferret Prize at the Open Cap Ferret. Active on the Belgian and international scene, it has performed at numerous festivals in Belgium and France.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 21:00Atelier Marcel Hastir · Brussels Brussels Philharmonic & Ilan VolkovMusicBrussels Philharmonic & Ilan VolkovForget the ticking of the clock — here, music doesn’t rush forward, but grips the present moment. Raven Chacon, Tyshawn Sorey, Annea Lockwood and George Lewis ask us to listen differently: what remains when the noise falls away? Raven Chacon, the first Native American Pulitzer winner, usually tackles history and politics. With Inscription, however, he lets the music speak for itself. Inspired by 1,000-year-old New Mexican petroglyphs, he treats ancient rock art as musical prompts: 'They looked like violin cues or bass clarinet vibratos to me.' Breaking from rigid tradition, Chacon uses graphic scores and microtones, treating every orchestral player as an 'autonomous sound-maker.' Then, the tempo drops to a near-standstill. Tyshawn Sorey’s Adagio (For Wadada Leo Smith) is a monumental lesson in patience, moving with the majestic, imperceptible crawl of a glacier. Amidst the near-silence, a slowly rotating alto sax melody offers a steady hand to hold. But silence is an illusion. Unless time stops, the world—nature, the city, our own bodies—is always loud. These are the raw materials of Annea Lockwood. In Saouah!, she blurs the lines between voice, breath, and instrument, inviting us to stop hunting for harmony and start feeling the physical resonance of sound itself. Finally, George Lewis explores time as 'wear and tear': “Weathering mirrors the stamina needed to endure systemic racism—the chronic stress of a permanent 'fight or flight' mode. I hope my music does noy cause stress, but sparks empathy. After all, this kind of weathering affects us all." LAB-SERIES 26-27 Stretching seconds, stripping Ears. Time is of the essence. With the LAB-SERIES, Brussels Philharmonic brings together musical experiment, interaction, and total immersion. Expect eclectic concert nights with striking programmes, pre- and post-concert talks, interactive installations, and listening sessions. A Glitch in the Hourglass This season, the LAB-SERIES lets go of time as we know it. Time is shaped, stretched, or brought to a standstill. Physical interventions shift your sense of time, while composers sharpen its urgency. In that collision, a world of experiment opens up. Dive in, be surprised, and see where your curiosity takes you.Saturday · 17 October · 20:15 – 22:15Flagey · Brussels SWING DEALERS FEATURING VANESSA MATHYS THE COLE PORTER SONGBOOKMusicSWING DEALERS FEATURING VANESSA MATHYS THE COLE PORTER SONGBOOKA TRIBUTE TO COLE PORTER Vanessa Mathys meets Swing Dealers! The Music Village invites you to a special evening celebrating Cole Porter, the creator of some of the most elegant and timeless songs in the Great American Songbook, including Night and Day, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and Love for Sale. The programme will explore the full richness of his musical world: vocal duets featuring Vanessa Mathys and Jean Van Lint, lively exchanges between the voices and Vincent Mardens’ saxophone, intimate trio and quartet moments, as well as many songs performed in purely instrumental versions. SWING DEALERS Vincent Mardens on saxophone, Dirk Van der Linden on piano, Jean Van Lint on double bass and vocals, and Jan De Haas on drums — musicians who need no introduction to Music Village audiences — the concert will offer a complete palette of moods, colours and styles. All these different approaches will be united by one common thread: Cole Porter’s magnificent compositions, revisited with elegance, freedom and swing for everyone’s enjoyment, from seasoned jazz lovers to newcomers.  about your concertSaturday · 17 October · 20:30 – 23:59The Music Village · Brussels Brussels Rhythm and Blues ClubMusicBrussels Rhythm and Blues ClubConcert 8.30pm PAF - €19 in advance, €21 on the door Buy tickets https://www.toots.brussels/en/concert/14528/xime-monzon-band Xime Monzón has established herself as one of the best known blues harmonica players in South America.

🎭Arts & culture

The LatecomersTheatreThe LatecomersDecoratelier – a workspace for scenographers and artists – is temporarily housed in an abandoned factory in Molenbeek, together with the solidarity restaurant Cassonade. They find themselves on heavily polluted ground. A layer of concrete prevents oil, chemicals, and heavy metals from seeping into the daily lives of local residents.  The municipality of Molenbeek is planning to turn the site into a park: everything that is built in Decoratelier today will disappear beneath a thick layer of healthy soil. Will the history and the invisible stories of this place vanish as well? Together with the caretaker, the cooks of Cassonade, neighbours and visitors, the builders of Decoratelier set to work like true archaeologists. As ‘latecomers’, they create a space to reflect on historical pollution and collective responsibility. They unravel the past and speculate about future ecosystems, life forms, and ways of living. Through constructions and stories, they search for a form to share their concerns and desires with future generations.  Can a society be built upon its own mistakes? The Latecomers is a site-specific performance in which a community explores the meaning of a place, inviting the audience to navigate this unsettling landscape of stories.  • Jozef Wouters (BE, 1986) is a Brussels-based scenographer and theatre maker. Working from Decoratelier, a former factory in Molenbeek, he develops (site-specific) performances, architectural interventions and collaborative projects. His work relates to concrete locations, opening a dialogue between spaces, processes and imagination. Since 2017, he has been an autonomous artist in residence with Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods.Wednesday · 14 October · 20:30 – 21:45Decoratelier · Brussels Terminal 1ExhibitionTerminal 1A brand-new venue is opening at Brussels Expo!

From promising talents to established artists, they each bring their own personality and style, just for you. Belgian stand-up at its prime, fast-paced and accessible to everyone. But watch out, an hour with these comedians passes so quickly that you will already want to book for the next showcase!Saturday · 17 October · 18:00 – 19:30Comedy Ket · Brussels Broken Home, My ShrineTheatreBroken Home, My Shrine“It always happens in my chest. A very specific spot. The spot where my pain of non-belonging belongs.”We move, in search of feelings of belonging, feelings of home. All while physical homes are blown apart, washed away, occupied, stolen or forgotten. We move, not to explain, not to fix, but to carry it. To carry the wonder and chaos, the contradictions, the desires, dreams and memories, of this never-ending journey. And to hold its complexity. We move. Because movement is who we are.With Broken Home, My Shrine, Alix Konadu (whom you may know from her work in Hannibal and Burning City) creates a multidisciplinary performance about migration and identity. Two intertwined perspectives are at its core: those who move, and those who grow up in the echo of that movement. The migrant, and the migrant’s child. For seven years, the maker collected testimonies from people who left a home behind and started again elsewhere, or whose family did so. These interviews form the guiding thread of the performance. Their stories merge with the personal histories of the performers themselves.Drawing inspiration from personal stories and traditions of shrines and objects that carry memory and belonging, the performers create a shared journey through live music and storytelling. Starting from the fact that migration is part of the human experience, love and connection allow past and future to meet, holding on to humanity where it is so easily lost.Saturday · 17 October · 18:00 – 19:30KVS_Box · Brussels Life is not usefulTheatreLife is not usefulLa vie n’est pas utile (or that's how it is) is a danced lecture, springing from the meeting between the choreographer Bruno Freire and the words of Ailton Krenak, one of the most important political voices of contemporary Brazil. In his publication « La vie n’est pas utile », he asserts that life is an experience of wonder, which cannot be reduced to its utilitarian dimension. Haunted by the power of these words, Bruno Freire dances to Krenak's text as if to a musical score, inviting us – through a unique listening experience – to feel it in our flesh. Indigenous philosopher and activist, Ailton Krenak delivers a critique of contemporary urban society. Convinced that it is more urgent to listen to those who take care of the forest rather than those who destroy it, Bruno Freire takes us inside his questioning. How to face the climate catastrophe without falling into anxiety and melancholy? Letting himself be traversed by the sound and meaning of the words, he gives life to Krenak's thoughts, initiating a dance to push back the end of the world. La vie n’est pas utile (or that's how it is) is the second part of a diptych devoted by the artist to his research around the marvelous. Alone in the middle of a refined stage, he gives body and voice to a moving reflection on life. By confronting us with the ravages caused by Western society, he questions our habits as "planet eaters". And what if it was the non-utility of life that made it so precious? And what if the only goal of our passage on Earth was to be alive?Saturday · 17 October · 18:00 – 23:59Théâtre Varia · Brussels The Just AssassinsTheatreThe Just AssassinsWe can summarize Les Justes by writing that it is a group of revolutionary socialists who are preparing an attack in February 1905 in Moscow with the idea of assassinating the tyrant. We can also tell the story of a group of young people who choose revolt to give life a chance. It is this version that Jean-Baptiste Delcourt defends in his staging of the work of Albert Camus, revived this season after the success met at the creation of the show. Directing his actors as if they were “struggling for life”, he continues his political and sensitive exploration of great, demanding texts. The staging puts us face to face with the moral limits of revolutionary action, however just the causes may be. At the moment of throwing the bomb at the Duke’s carriage, Kaliayev spots children in the carriage. What to do? Camus’s text is philosophically suspended on this choice, sending us back to the question of democracy, of the common, of the radicality of the gesture. This tension between revolt and love, justice and radicality, Jean-Baptiste Delcourt explores with seven young actors, to propose a chamber of echoes and reflections for our ultra-violent current events. Focusing methodically on the preparations for the attack and its consequences, the director proposes to dismantle the fantasized narratives, to bring out the notion of responsibility in the face of our choices, but also the possibility of a renewal.Saturday · 17 October · 18:00 – 23:59Théâtre des Martyrs · Brussels A Good Man is Hard To FindTheatreA Good Man is Hard To FindDissecting the Mythology of Power The performance takes its cue from the so-called ‘Cremationof Care’, a fantastical and decadent ritual allegedly organised by the private club Bohemian Grove in San Francisco. A ceremony in which the global political and economic elite are supposedly invited to rid themselves of their feelings of guilt. In a battered meeting room, the five actor-dancers dissect the mythology of power and lay bare the absurdity, illusions, initiation rituals and destruction that seem to define all these men — emotionally blocked somewhere between gods and teenagers. So imagine an office party at the end of the world, suspended somewhere between a Greek tragedy and a contemporary apocalypse, pop music and an epic symphony, at the intersection of dance and theatre, where beauty meets horror. A Good Man is Hard to Find was the sensation of the 2025 Venice Dance Biennale. Hailing from London’s underground scene, Bullyache create hybrid works inspired by their working-class backgrounds and queer identity. A Belgian premiere.Saturday · 17 October · 19:00 – 23:59Les Brigittines · Brussels Variations sur les passions humainesTheatreVariations sur les passions humainesIf beings from the farthest reaches of the solar system were to land on our planet, how would they go about making contact with us?

The centuries-old church provides a remarkable setting for the experience, as light, music and projections interact with the architecture, revealing its monumental spaces in a whole new light. Over 30 minutes, the audience follows the seven days of Creation as recounted in the Book of Genesis. From the creation of light to the emergence of humankind, the spectacle traces the creation of the heavens and the earth, the seas, the stars, plants and animals. A soundtrack combining classical music with contemporary compositions adds to the poetic and contemplative character of Genesis, creating an immersive experience in which the architecture, music and imagery come together.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 22:00Église Notre-Dame du Sablon · Brussels The invisible is not non-existentTheatreThe invisible is not non-existentEva and Rinus are friends. They live together and raise Moïra, 7 years old. Rinus speaks Dutch. Eva speaks French. Eva is a pirate of life. Rinus suffers from an illness from which he will not recover. How to imagine the future in the imminence of loss? What legacy to leave to those who follow? When reality no longer provides answers, isn't it wise to take a look to the side, at what is not seen? All in humor and poetry, the trio deploys a treasure of knowledge and know-how as a precious legacy to offer. L’invisible n’est pas inexistant is a joyful exploration of doing things together differently. On stage, gravity generates electricity, by short-circuiting our modes of consumption, while inventing an aesthetic language. This gravity becomes a palpable body in space in dialogue with human bodies at work. A tender and magical fable that invites us to open ourselves to new resources, whether they are energetic or human. Family ties go beyond blood ties, astrophysics becomes poetry and accentuates the porosity between several worlds: that of the child and that of adults, the visible world and the invisible world.Saturday · 17 October · 20:00 – 23:59Théâtre Varia · Brussels The Emperor of the Boulevards or the incredible destiny of Georges FeydeauTheatreThe Emperor of the Boulevards or the incredible destiny of Georges FeydeauThe incredible destiny of Georges Feydeau Vous did you know his work? Discover his life! Théâtre des Variétés, " Tailleur pour Dames " triumphs and marks the beginning of the incredible career of a certain Georges Feydeau. Prisoner of his irrepressible need for recognition, the Emperor of the Boulevards spreads his wings over a festive and good-natured Paris. Torn between his wife's love, his nocturnal conquests and his cumbersome characters, Georges retraces his life and the illustrious figures that marked his journey tinged with promises, success, failures and revenge. From the high-society salons of Maxim's to the great stages of the capital, from his friendship with the Guitry family to his fateful encounter with a creature of the night, from his peak to his disgrace, take a leap in time to discover the man hiding behind the bestselling author. A 26-character show paying tribute to the master of the genre, between drama and comedy.

Through a direct style, the work denounces the hypocrisy, perversion, and dehumanization of servants by their masters.\n\nA virulent social satire in the deconstruction of the myth of bourgeois respectability. The character depicts the futility of the masters she serves, notably the Lanlaires.\n\nCélestine becomes the privileged witness of the hidden vices of the upper class.\nMirbeau denounces the flaws of the bosses here. Célestine herself is described as sneaky, greedy, and manipulative.\nThe diary format allows for a fragmented narration, giving an impression of realism and raw confidences, where the bourgeoisie's \"dirty laundry\" is exposed.\nThe narrative is punctuated by the investigation into the murder of a little girl, a symbol of the barbarism lurking beneath the veneer of provincial society.\n\nThe author\nOctave Mirbeau is a playwright, journalist, critic, and art lover.\nBorn on February 16, 1848 into a notable family from Calvados, he spends a difficult childhood and adolescence with the Jesuits, then after the experience of the 1870 war, he moves to Paris in 1872 and makes his journalistic debut there.\nIn 1883, he becomes the editor-in-chief of "Grimaces", an anti-opportunist and anti-Semitic weekly, a point on which he would moreover very quickly self-criticize.\nHe was also renowned for his sense of justice, defending the oppressed and tirelessly denouncing the hypocrisy of political and religious institutions. He continuously contributed, through his books and articles, to the emancipation of minds and social progress.\nAuthor of the work that would be his greatest success, "Le Journal of a chambermaid", he was a visionary writer ahead of his time.Saturday · 17 October · 20:15 – 22:15Comédie Claude Volter · Brussels PassportTheatrePassportA young man left for dead has lost his memory. The only tangible element of his past is his passport. He is Eritrean, he crossed the sea, he is in Calais. He then begins a long quest strewn with obstacles to obtain a residence permit. From the singular story of this man without memory, the author makes us vibrate in unison with these people forced to reinvent an identity to survive. Seven actors take on the characters to catch us from the first minute and to deliver a formidable humanist tale which, in passing, sets the clocks to the time of certain convictions. The Michalik magic operates again. Through all these intertwined destinies, between dangers, solidarity, and hope, the play explores exile and the quest for a free and serene life. The narration is breathless, carried by a choral staging and deeply touching characters, the show gives flesh to the invisible paths of migrants. Alexis Michalik has been triumphing in the theater for over a decade. Le Cercle of illusionists, Le Porteur of stories, Edmond, Intra-Muros, A love story… his talent as a storyteller is undeniable. Neither militant nor documentary, the show is the embodiment of what exile means through a unifying story. _______ By: Alexis Michalik / Director: Alexis Michalik / With: Blaise Afonso, Marwane El Boubsi, Tamara Kalvanda, Nabil Missoumi, Edson Pedro and Guy Theunissen / Assistant Director: Clotilde Daniault / Scenography: Juliette Azzopardi / Costumes: Marion Rebmann / Lighting: François Leneveu / Video: Nathalie Cabrol / Accessory: Pauline Gallot / Music: Johnson Sly _______ A CO-PRODUCTION OF THÉÂTRE LE PUBLIC, ACMÉ AND LA FRANÇAISE DE THÉÂTRE.Saturday · 17 October · 20:30 – 23:59Théâtre Le Public · Brussels The Night Logan Woke UpTheatreThe Night Logan Woke UpWe are at the funeral home. Tonight, brothers, sister, and in-laws are gathered around the body of the deceased mother. It is often an opportunity to meet up, a death. It’s been a good while since they had seen each other, those five. Life, work… Strange place, you might say, but, it must be said that one of the daughters is a thanatopractor... so she decides that it is she who will embalm the departed. And that, that already causes stories… As the hours go by, secrets will surface, skeletons will come out of the closets... and the lie will burst into broad daylight. It will be a question of coffin size, bank accounts, and other pettiness. Of childhood memories too... And of love obviously, especially of love. Of love unsaid, envied, whispered, missed. Love between people of the same family is never an easy thing. With his very beautiful writing, Michel Marc Bouchard offers once again to the artists a magnificent score with accents of black humor, a fierce and intelligent score. When tongues loosen, truths come out of the woods, and we learn that, at night, when “he” woke up, terrible things happened in this family… A family portrait without concession, without frills either, cash and poignant, which holds up a mirror to us, funny, tender, and cruel. Family life is always intense, especially during a death, when the broken parts meet again and the puzzle is recomposed to face the buried truths. _______ By: Michel Marc Bouchard / Director: Jeanne Kacen / With: Baptiste Blampain, Stéphanie Blanchoud, Janine Godinas, Clément Manuel, Nicole Oliver, Fabrice Rodriguez, Camille Vandevelde / Assistant Director: Virgile Magniette / Scenography: Anne Guilleray / Costumes: Chandra Vellut / Lighting: Alain Collet / Sound: Guillaume Istace _______ A PRODUCTION OF THÉÂTRE LE PUBLIC.

He is 7 years old, the little guy, he is not very big. What could he do to help heal mom? At the hospital where he visits her comes an amazing idea: a list! Draw up the list of all the great things that will come to his mind: ice creams, the color yellow, water fights, laughing so hard that milk comes out of the nose… He says to himself: if I put it on mom’s pillow, if she reads it, the miracle will necessarily happen, she will regain a taste for life. Through the evolution of this inventory, which he will never stop expanding, with your help if you wish, the narrator tells the unpredictable paths his life has taken. “After all, as Toots Thielemans said, we only know how to do nothing but improvise”. In a very British alloy of apparent simplicity and great subtlety of writing, the play mobilizes us, without mawkishness and with pretty notes well acidulated on the unimaginable luck of being alive.

Her show tells her story, that of a self-proclaimed Hollywood star born 10,000 km from the flashes and red carpets. A parody tale where she revisits her life with humor: a mother who sees her as a clown, a sacrificed lawyer career, and a path to sequins strewn with pitfalls.

Very quickly, this appointment, supposed to be a simple formality, turns into a verbal joust! Lies, surprises, and truths, and the compromise becomes a true theatrical fireworks display!

MashaaDunya FestivalFestivalMashaaDunya FestivalMashaaDunya is a Brussels-based multidisciplinary festival that highlights the cultural intersections resulting from migrations and diasporas.

Conceived as an artistic, civic, and pedagogical space, MashaaDunya values the narratives and memories of communities often absent from traditional cultural circuits. The festival is not limited to showing works; it creates contexts of exchange, reflection, and co-creation where art becomes a tool for mutual understanding and social transformation.Saturday · 17 October · 00:00 – 23:59Various places in Brussels · Brussels Detours FestivalFestivalDetours FestivalLe Detours Festival is the unmissable event for urban dances, at the crossroads of hip-hop and contemporary creation.

Cinema Impero | Muna MussieCinemaCinema Impero | Muna MussieSynopsis⋆˚✿˖° ♡ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ౨ৎ ‧₊ .ᐟ Cinema Impero takes its name from a cinema built in the center of Asmara, in Eritrea, in 1937, under the fascist regime. As a language, cinema has always had the power to forge imaginaries and, in parallel, to shape and build narratives, especially when it is used for propaganda purposes by authoritarian regimes. The new languages of artificial intelligences also try both to surprise and to distort reality. Cinema Impero is a meta-narrative that mixes multiple spatiotemporal layers and different linguistic elements: video images from the historical archives of the Istituto Luce and the artist's personal archives, told and produced by two voices and two intelligences, one artificial, the other emotional. Cinema Impero is a black box that contains the language of cinema, that of theater and the algorithms of artificial intelligence. Inside this multisensory device designed for one spectator at a time, the person is placed at the center of the macro narrative and is invited to surrender to proximity, a space of intimate otherness, between the narrator and the listener.

On the rooftops of Tel Aviv, far from the war zone, Israeli soldiers hold secret conversations at night. Step by step, it becomes visible how the army and intelligence services determine who is a target, which technologies and procedures are deployed, and how many civilian casualties an attack is allowed to cost. Dozens to sometimes hundreds of Palestinian civilians can be considered an acceptable price for eliminating a single target. The film thus poses the painful question: how can the killing of innocent civilians become so normalized within a military apparatus that it is no longer viewed as a moral or legal problem? The title refers to Nezek Agavi, ‘collateral damage’, the Israeli military term for the expected number of civilian casualties from an airstrike. The term thus symbolizes the dehumanization deeply ingrained in the system: civilian deaths are not a tragic side effect, but a foreseen and accepted part of military operations. NAZA premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where the film won the Special Jury Prize.Saturday · 17 October · 19:15 – 23:59Cinema Galeries · Brussels Xavier Quérel & MoECinemaXavier Quérel & MoESuperb evening in perspective with a visual and sound performance co-signed by Xavier Quérel and the duo MoE.
