TheatreGallery of Wonders - an evening of curiosities and surprises!A fascinating evening featuring curiosities and demonstrations in our exhibition room (Dutch - English), a tarot reader who will surprise you (Dutch - English), and a unique performance of “The Voices of Things” – A Collection of Stories to Hold (English) The Voices of Things’ - A Collection of Stories to Hold. Performance by Sébastien Clergue in our Close Up room. (English - 30 minutes) +12y Why do we hold on to certain objects in a world where everything seems disposable? The Voices of Things is a rare opportunity to see, touch, and explore a unique collection of uncommon objects, guided by the man who spent his life gathering them. How could a coat button save hundreds of lives? How was a small key responsible for one of the worst disasters in history? You will become one of the lucky few to experience the unbelievable but true stories behind these treasures, as their secrets are unlocked before your eyes. Part intimate performance, part conversation, it is ultimately an invitation to look for the wonders hiding in plain sight and a reminder that the things we keep are often keeping something of us as well. 'Cabinet of Curiosities' in expo room House of Mysteries. Performances, demonstrations and surprises in our expo room non-stop during the evening. Performance in English and Dutch. 'Origins'- a story by Carlo Scalandra Performance by Carlo Scalandra in our Séance Room. (Dutch - 30 minutes) +12j ‘Wat brengt u hier vandaag?’ Een eenvoudige vraag. Tot je er echt over begint na te denken... Carlo mijmert graag over de oorsprong van dingen. Soms iets te lang, en soms iets te veel. Tot op een punt waarop hij zich begon af te vragen waarom hij eigenlijk op een podium wil staan als mentalist. Hierin zag hij meteen het onderwerp van zijn eerste voorstelling. Het werd een vertelling over waar dingen beginnen, hoe een verhaal geschreven wordt, hoe het verder leeft en waarom we misschien liever een goed verhaal geloven.Sat 7 Nov · 20:30–22:30House of Mysteries · Ghentfrom €29

TheatreDe Opstand van de Gevels - De Opera, Thomas Verstraeten & Opera Ballet VlaanderenAfter Thomas Verstraeten swaps two Ghent façades around in a celebratory procession, he will put them on stage as scenery for a new production and invite residents of the city to set the façades to music. From a hurdy-gurdy to homemade instruments to a DJ’s turntables: a varied group of people and instruments form an alternative city orchestra to take on the challenge. What music do they associate with which type of façade? What sounds emerge from behind the façade?Tue 3 Nov · 20:00–22:00NTGent Schouwburg · Ghentfrom €16

CinemaThe Moment (2026)After a brat summer in which Charli XCX populated Instagram feeds with her album and took over everyone's AirPods, her biggest challenge turns out not to be success itself, but holding onto it. In The Moment she plays an exaggerated version of herself: a pop star who gets entangled in the expectations of the public, record label, and her own perfectionism. What begins as an ironic look at the machine behind the mega-star derails into a claustrophobic nightmare in which artist, alter ego, and marketing construct increasingly coincide with one another. With this refreshing take on the concert film, Aidan Zamiri Charli translates stroboscopic concert aesthetics into film language. His delightfully unhinged satire of celebrity culture is a Russian roulette of flashing lights, hyped-up concert footage, and a hefty dose of self-deprecation. At the same time, this baroque behind-the-scenes asks how artists stay afloat in an ecosystem that always wants more, until the hype shifts to something new yet again.Thu 5 Nov · 20:30–22:30KASKcinema · Ghentfrom €4
