Coinciding with the 'Global Divestment Day' of action, this workshop will take us on a day long adventure of creative resistance together with an international array of artists and climate activists. A taster training in civil disobedience will warm you up for ‘secret missions’ to be performed across the city.

Open to artists and activists interested in the boundaries between politics and performance, art and activism, this workshop will explore how we can escape the old rituals of protest to find a space where the poetic and the pragmatic fuse into successful and efficient moments of disobedience.

Wings, a silent movie made in 1927, combines a romantic plot with impressive images of air battles from the First World War. Eric Sleichim and BL!NDMAN [drums] present its screening with a selection of percussion music from the 20th and 21st centuries, with turntables and live electronics.

Brian Eno’s song 'Golden Hours' is the point of departure for the new creation by Rosas. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker continues to explore the perception of time in choreography, and approaches a cast of young dancers in their idiosyncratic movement expressions. Their speaking becomes their dancing.

In her latest series of collages, Up in Arms, Horvat reworks family photos shot in socialist Yugoslavia in the 60s and 70s, when ideals of solidarity and progress were still strong. Horvat concentrates on the symbolic element of arms, detached from the subjects, which are cancelled out as if they were lost. 

For Built to Last, choreographer Meg Stuart invited music dramaturge Alain Franco to collaborate with her. In this talk, Franco explains his non-chronological selection and juxtaposition of music for the production. He gives his personal view of monumentality and stability in society and in music. 

Two dancers’ bodies and a violinist enclosed in a space designed by the visual artist Michel François. The violinist Amandine Beyer plays Bach’s Partita no. 2 for solo violin on the stage. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Boris Charmatz seek to reinvent their dance in the instant: in between the labyrinthine lines of the living architecture of the music.

Ten million soldiers were killed in WWI. Director Luk Perceval gives them a human face in an evocative polyphony. FRONT gives an impression of life on both sides of this front line: with accounts and characters based on documents of the time, and live music.

Facing new challenges in various fields such as economics, politics, technology, commercial business, sex, dance and theatre, SUPERAMAS turns itself into SUPERAMAX. A sweet-sour comedy.

For the third Night of Brussels Knowledge, the Brussels Studies Institute will once again bring together dozens of researchers and philosophers to share their knowledge of Brussels with you. The central theme this time is: sustainable urban development. There will be witty presentations and lively discussions interspersed with short performances by Brussels artists.

Four dirty, down and out, androgynous cowboys adopt the ritual poses from the Western genre. Gradually their actions come to resemble an odd kind of dance. Screening of a new film by the Danish artist Joachim Koester, with a live concert by Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare).
