Relay (Unplugged) - Brussels Days 21

24/09/202125/09/2021

A black flag floats in continuous motion. The black flag cannot be linked to one particular battle and hence defies easy interpretation. Drawing inspiration from the many recent protests taking place around the globe, a diverse group of performers relay one another in a fascinating test of endurance. Their movements pass back and forth between inertia and hope, resistance, and powerlessness.

CHARLOTTE VANDEN EYNDE & NICOLAS ROMBOUTS - Hyphen

Day of the dance

27/04/2019

In their improvisation, choreographer Charlotte Vanden Eynde and double bass player Nicolas Rombouts explore the power and vulnerability of creating in the here and now. For Rombouts playing music is instant composition, for Vanden Eynde dancing is thinking. In Hyphen they become two parts of the same brain and explore the tension between intuition and mental control, between spontaneity and repetition.

During the three Brussels Days, the Cameroon artist Guy Woueté and performers Medina Tokalic and Bela Juttner, hold up banners in the public spaces. The banners that contain thoughts and texts, some of which were written by Woueté himself, fluctuate between poetic quotations and political claims/slogans. During En quête des marges fluctuantes, the bodies of performers are put to work in public spaces for eight hours a day, thus challenging how passers-by view work and working conditions.

Over the past seven years, Belgian choreographer and dancer Benjamin Vandewalle has continuously studied the perception and apprehension of reality by creating a series of interactive installations. Set up in a travelling fairground village, these installations equipped with mirrors guide and divert the spectator's eye to choreograph a different view of the city. A scene, an architectural detail, a perspective, lights suddenly illuminate this small urban theatre in a fascinating game of visual manipulation.

The Politics of Music

14/05/2022

15/05/2022

This two-day public discursive programme looks at how political dynamics permeate through and affect music and the spaces which it creates.

 

The opening day is devoted to discussions of music as a form of conquest. Speakers explore the role music plays in the formation of national identity, music as an instrument of torture, and the relationship between domination and appropriation in the practice of sampling.The day closes with a performative reading of Maan Abu Taleb’s The Congress, reimagining the first Congress of Arab Music, in Cairo in 1932.
