Haute & Freddy
Haute & Freddy is the dazzling brainchild of Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp. The duo released their first single "Scantily Clad," sparking a devoted fanbase. The song has landed them on Spotify playlists Lorem, Obsessed, and the cover of Fresh Finds paving the way for their second single "Anti-Superstar," which has also been embraced with equal support and looks on multiple Spotify playlists leading to them being named on Spotify’s Artists To Watch for 2026. Their third single “Shy Girl” is currently their most streamed track and has been licensed 5 times over for film & tv projects.
Fast forward to now, and the comment sections are buzzing with fans speaking in Ren Faire lingo, while their shows are filled with attendees crafting their own jester hats, as a mime clown joyfully twists balloon crowns for the rest of the Royal Court—aka H&F’s loyal followers. With their debut album on the horizon and their sold-out Mini Grand Tour under their belt, Haute & Freddy’s momentum is picking up speed. Fans devoured the recently released videos for “Shy Girl”, “Sophie” and “Freaks.” More festivals and tour dates in the works for 2026 when the album drops. Their latest single is a new anthem “Dance The Pain Away” out now, with their debut album Big Disgrace coming out via Atlantic Records on March 13th.
Their love for theater, obscure synths, and underground club culture runs deep, infusing every track with an audacious energy. The duo moves through their music like runaway carnies, crashing through the veneer of polite society with all the flair of an 18th-century escapade.

The power of longform drone based music
There’s something truly special about drone-based music. Whether it’s the vocals of Pandit Pran Nath, the ARP 2500 of Éliane Radigue, or the nearly blown-out amplifiers of Sunn O))), by shifting the listener’s focus from details toward the flow, drones have a unique ability to transport our minds far, far away.The music of Water Damage, the loud droning collective from Austin, is a damn fine example of how that process works. With the motto “Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation,” Water Damage creates glowing waves of drones that completely carry you along.The members are all veterans of various projects: Spray Paint, Black Eyes, USA/Mexico, more eaze, Thor & Friends, Marriage, Swans, SUR, Astral Spirits Records… Their approach to form is less frontal than that of many of their contemporaries, and the surface of their sound is sometimes disrupted by auditory events that are not exactly drone-like. But the main body is usually a blend of harmonic tones and textures pointing toward a goal just out of earshot, just beyond the next hill, and perhaps forever out of reach.Christina Carter (°1968, Houston) is a co-founder of Charalambides and has developed a distinct and deeply personal sound using voice, guitar, harmonica, and piano. Her work combines improvisation with an exploration of song and the importance of lyrics. She has performed extensively in the US, UK, and Europe and has collaborated with, among others, Jeffrey Alexander and Loren Connors.In addition to music, she is active as a poet and visual artist, with publications and exhibitions. In 2024, her book For Want Of Walls was released. Her recent album is Like A Bayou To Its Gulf (2025).Jeffrey Alexander (°1968, Baltimore) is a prolific psychedelic musician with countless releases and collaborations. He has played in Jackie-O Motherfucker, Dire Wolves, and Black Forest/Black Sea, among others. His work has been released on labels such as Feeding Tube, Warp, and Astral Editions. He has also been active as a curator, DJ, label head, and festival organizer (including Terrastock). He has a varied background, ranging from truck driver to museum technician. Musically, he focuses on free improvisation and collaborations. His current project Heavy Lidders features contributions from Marissa Nadler and members of Animal Collective.His latest record includes vocals by Christina Carter, who will also join the tour.His solo work is minimalist and subdued, yet remains rooted in psychedelic exploration.

Art & Mode: affinités électives ou liaisons dangereuses?
Conversations
An evening of readings, music and reflections on the consequences of war, through the lens of Alban Berg’s opera.
In collaboration with Passa Porta, La Monnaie is organising a literary evening devoted to the major themes of Wozzeck. When it first premiered in 1925, Alban Berg’s opera made a profound impression by highlighting the psychological impact of war and violence on individuals, as well as the consequences of manipulation and exploitation.
These themes will be explored through literary works by contemporary authors whose writings were shaped by personal experiences in war-torn countries: an extract from Hemingway Knows Nothing by Artur Dron will be read by its translator, Roman Nesterenco; the Brussels-based Palestinian poet Ahmed Saleh will read several of his poems; and an excerpt from the award-winning novel Guerre et pluie will be read by its author, Velibor Čolić.
These readings will be followed by a conversation with Anya Topolski, a political philosopher specialising in the works of Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Levinas; Geertrui Serneels, a member of the Brussels Interdisciplinary Research Centre on Migration and Minorities at the VUB and director of the non-profit organisation Solentra, which specialises in war-related trauma and provides psychotherapeutic support to refugees; and Viktoriia Tuhasheva, a Ukrainian psychologist currently living in Belgium and working at Solentra. The evening will be accompanied by a musical performance of Alban Berg’s Vier Lieder by baritone Leander Carlier (MM Academy).
The authors:
Ahmed Saleh is a Palestinian writer, poet and activist originally from Gaza, now based in Brussels. In his writings on literature, politics, identity and memory, he focuses on issues of displacement and alienation, which he explores through the lens of his personal experience. As part of his activist work, he has collaborated with cultural and human rights organisations. As a writer, he has published critical and reflective essays on the political and psychological complexities of exile, and has released his first collection of poetry.
Velibor Čolić was born in 1964 in a small town in Bosnia. After studying literature and working for a short time at a regional radio station as a rock and jazz journalist, he was conscripted into the Bosnian army in 1992. He is the author of Livre des départs (2020), Manuel d’exil. Comment réussir son exil en trente-cinq leçons (2016), Ederlezi (2014) and Sarajevo Omnibus (2012), he was awarded the Prix du Rayonnement de la langue et de la littérature françaises (for his entire body of work). His account of the invasion of Bosnia by the former Yugoslav federal army, right up to his desertion – which marked the beginning of his life in exile – Guerre et pluie was awarded the Prix Rossel in 2024.
Artur Dron is a writer and veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian War. A graduate of the Faculty of Journalism at Ivan Franko University in Lviv, he served as an infantryman in the 125th Autonomous Territorial Defence Brigade from spring 2022. In autumn 2024, he was seriously wounded and has been undergoing rehabilitation ever since. He is the author of two collections of poems and a collection of short stories entitled Hemingway Knows Nothing. His poetry has been translated into ten languages. In 2024, his second collection of poems was shortlisted by the Ukrainian PEN Club for the Shevchenko National Prize.

Book Presentation: Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall (by Christophe Lebold)
Leonard Cohen - the poet, the singer, the man – through the eyes of biographer Christophe Lebold
Ten years after the death of Leonard Cohen, biographer Christophe Lebold looks back on the life and work of the Canadian singer, composer and writer. In an in-depth biography and analysis of Cohen’s oeuvre, he highlights the different facets of the artist. Together with Klara-presenter and Cohen-fan Lies Steppe, he discusses Cohen’s writing, love life, struggle with drugs, fascination for religion and his philosophical and poetic work. writer Troubadour, philosopher, ladies’ man, Buddhist monk, painter, dandy: Leonard Cohen wore many hats and wore each with equal style, but the writer’s hat suited him best. He wrote novels and poetry long before he released his first album in 1967, and his song lyrics deserve their own place in world literature. biographer Christophe Lebold is an expert in American literature and got to know Leonard Cohen personally. In The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall , he has written the definitive biography of the modern bard, one in which he offers an erudite analysis of Cohen’s work. Lebold looks at both Cohen’s turbulent love life and struggle with drugs, as well as his endless fascination for religion and the philosophical and poetic richness of his body of work. artist Almost ten years to the day after his death, we join Lebold in looking back at the many facets of the mysterious figure that Leonard Cohen was. Voice of Klara and musician, Lies Steppe acquired her love of Cohen’s music from her parents and is thus the ideal partner in conversation. about the author Christophe Lebold is an associate professor at the University of Strasbourg. His doctoral research focused on the work of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. His deep admiration for Leonard Cohen is what led him to travelling extensively in the poet’s footsteps. Alongside his academic activities, he is a theatre actor and zen practitioner. He finds joy in poets, cats, and (when he’s in a cheerful mood) all living things. about the moderator Lies Steppe is a radio producer and presenter. Every Friday on Klara, she catapults you into the weekend with So What!?, where she offers you a personal take on jazz and related genres. On Sunday evening she serves up jazz classics in Round Midnight, and on Monday she presents Klara in Concert. She enjoys interviewing musicians and, as moderator and host, looking over the wall with a sense of wonder.

Book Presentation: Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall (by Christophe Lebold)
Dan English + Paulie Swan
A meeting of two intimate, cinematic worlds
For the longing listener... The music of composer Dan English is the communing of the head and the heart sharing secrets. The songs subsume time into feelings and images of purity, sonically and spiritually, and then, somewhat masochistically, play with lyrics drawn from the dingier parts of life: love, family, and capricious head-spaces. It’s movie-music; eternal scores for an espionage film with a protagonist who’s a clandestine, time-traveling romantic tailing the spirit itself.
Born in a quiet town in Iowa, he grew up chasing invisible things: codes in books, echoes in movies, half-sentences in songs. English found himself glued to the radio from an early age and, after picking up guitar at 10, language and sound conspired. Following a move to New York City, Dan released his first album “Fruit Boy" in 2018 followed by 2020’s “In Grace” EP. His newest offering, Sky Record (June 2025), is his second full-length album and continues to expand upon and probe the depths explored in his previous work. The music is part confession, part séance— lush spells where the sacred and the stained trade places. Emotions arrive in disguises: tenderness (smoke), grief (rhythm), silence (a cathedral on the verge of collapse).
In addition to his solo work, Dan moonlights as a guitarist for beloved NYC rock outfit Porches and is often to be found collaborating with his cousin Melody English.

Brussels flair with a sharp pen
Pierre Mignon – also known as Docteur Peet, Docteur Love, Supra Bawler or Peet for short – is one of the most authentic voices in the Brussels rap world. He became known as a member of the Le 77 collective and he is now walking his own impressive path solo. He’s a typical DIY musician: the rapper slash beatmaker prefers to record everything himself in his own studio.He has a unique style laced with humour, melancholy and realism, and he manages to bridge the gap between personal experiences and the daily lives of an entire generation effortlessly. His lyrics are honest, raw and poetic – a mirror of the city, life and himself.In late 2023, he appeared at AB to introduce his album Todo Bien and tore the house down. Since then, he has dropped a new album: À demain, his second album in two years. Following on from Todo Bien with its summery afterparty vibe, the season changes too. The fresh breeze of this spring that never really started fits perfectly with the intimate atmosphere of his new project.The whole thing feels like a low-tempo journey without speeding tickets, somewhere between the poppy Motel 8 and a bossa-jazzy Samba, evoking memories of a trip to South America in 2012.Live, Peet certainly has nothing more to prove: every concert is a party thanks to his unique talent, humour and the excellent musicians who back him.Don’t wait until demain to buy a ticket. Ça va être mignon, c'est promis !

Amadou, Ribot, Smith
For several years now, uncompromising experimentation has been at the heart of Liège-born, Brussels-based Farida Amadou’s work. Her idiosyncratic and intuitive approach to the bass is a perfect match for Marc Ribot and Ches Smith, two greats of the American experimental improvisation scene. For more than 40 years, Ribot has forged a versatile and unpredictable guitar sound shaped by punk, noise and avant-garde jazz. Equally adventurous is Ches Smith, whose wily and inventive drumming constantly pushes his fellow musicians to their limits. Together, the three build raw sound fields that embrace friction, somewhere between free jazz, noise and electroacoustic improvisation. However natural their connection may seem, their music remains impossible to predict.

There are musical stories that deserve to be celebrated in style. URBEX's is one of them. Since its formation in 2015 under the leadership of drummer and composer Antoine Pierre, this exceptional Belgian sextet has left its mark on the European jazz scene with a sound that is electric, organic and deeply original. Three albums, over 100 concerts, unanimous critical acclaim : URBEX has been one of the most memorable collective adventures of its generation.
The high point of this journey remains Suspended, recorded live at Flagey's Studio 4 during the Brussels Jazz Festival in January 2020 — a packed house, energy at its peak, warm applause — a passionate tribute to Miles Davis's electric period and the unforgettable Bitches Brew, which was then celebrating its 50th anniversary. Barely two months after that concert, the world came to a standstill : lockdown was to deprive the band of the tour it deserved, and abruptly cut short the momentum of music that had never been so alive.
In 2026, the Year of Miles — 35 years after the legendary trumpeter's passing — URBEX returns for two exceptional concerts in Strasbourg and Brussels. A final chance to experience this unique sound and, together, musicians and audience alike, to bring the chapter of a magnificent musical adventure to a close.

The festival continues its vital work of highlighting Black and Afro-descendant artistic initiatives in Brussels.
Over more than a decade, Africa is/in the Future has established itself as a space for artistic and festive convergence. A multidisciplinary festival, now organized by La Bellone, which no longer merely curates programmes but encourages dialogue between practices from different contexts. Open to all, it nevertheless extends an explicit invitation to Black and Afro-descendant people, originating from the African continent and the diasporas.
For this 11th edition, the festival underlines the need for constant, collaborative and complex redefinition as a prerequisite for a truly shared future.
At the Théâtre National, a discussion explore these fascinating ideas in greater depth. Four artists, invited by Marie Umuhoza, the festival’s programmer, share fragments of their research and works in progress. The conversation continues with a discussion between Sékou Séméga, artist and programmer at La Bellone, and the guest artists.

(titre provisoire)
Words, always words.We learn them, think them, speak them. They settle and accumulate. First on the surface. Then they seep through our pores, take root within us, shape us — sometimes without our knowing. (titre provisoire) is a solo that resists being named. A flight from identity. A flight from definition. A flight from words. On stage, a body and an LED screen — nicknamed the big label —coexist, respond to one another, and rub against each other.Words appear at random, slipping, lying, or striking true, like projected labels attempting to crystallize images and inviting us to revisit our own filters in a subliminal impulse. Where does our need to name, to understand, to classify come from? This performance explores the in-between: between cultures, between languages, between perceptions. The body slips between images and expectations, evades assignments,unsettles representations. It becomes a site of metamorphosis, evaporation, and ambiguous resistance. A sensitive, shifting space where the ephemeral becomes a territory of invention. The spectator’s gaze then becomes a shifting field of experience.Neither narrative nor confession: this solo is a surface. A fracture. A mirror. Johana Malédon is a French Guianese choreographer and dancer based in the Île-de-France region. She trained at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris, the Alvin Ailey School in New York, the Pôle Supérieur Paris Boulogne-Billancourt, and later with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company in Israel. She holds a DNSPD and a State Diploma in jazz dance teaching, as well as a degree in Performing Arts from Université Paris 8 and a Licence’s degree in Cultural and Artistic Project Management. Her choreographic work explores the body as a material shaped by memory, contradictions, and states of transformation. It relies on performative frameworks that place dancers in situations of tension, displacement, and instability. As a performer, she collaborates notably with Léo Lérus, Kristina Alleyne, Abou Lagraa and Nawal Aït Benalla within La Baraka, as well as with Fouad Boussouf, Yoshiko Waki, and Sylvain Groud. She also joins Tanz Münster in Germany as a guest dancer for the 2025–2026 season. In 2019, she founded Compagnie MÂLE after receiving the Grand Prize at the Sobanova Dance Awards for her first piece, À Bientôt. She then created 40, followed by the solo (titre provisoire), selected for Aerowaves Twenty26. Her works are presented both in France and internationally.

Ensemble Ruxe’el « Old and New Folk »
This concert, which has already captivated audiences on numerous stages, invites you on a journey
through the musical traditions of Europe, as well as North and South America. Through a selection of instrumental pieces by iconic composers, each with its own story and identity, you will discover the richness and musical diversity of these continents.
From the refined and sophisticated harmonies of Europe to the dynamic, syncopated rhythms of Latin and North America, this programme highlights the many facets of these musical cultures. Some works even reveal influences from elsewhere, illustrating how cultural exchanges have shaped music over time.
This concert is therefore an invitation to explore the interactions between classical repertoires and world music, whilst celebrating the creativity of composers past and present, inspired by the richness of the musical traditions around them.
Founded in 2022, the Ruxe’el Ensemble is a unique instrumental quintet comprising a string trio (violin, viola, cello), a harp and a flute. With a modern and open-minded approach, this ensemble showcases the richness and diversity of today’s musical landscape. Through a balanced dialogue between repertoires and musical traditions from different cultures, Ruxe’el transcends boundaries and blends styles to offer unique experiences.
Its flexible line-up allows for great artistic freedom, ranging from solo performances to combinations of duos, trios or quintets, with each instrument flourishing within its own unique sonic space. This versatility enables them to perform a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to modern compositions with intercultural and ethnic influences.
In addition to its stage performances, the Ruxe’el Ensemble is actively involved in educational projects in Belgium, thereby reinforcing its commitment to making music accessible to all. Performing at concerts and festivals, it offers bespoke programmes designed to captivate and surprise a diverse audience.

Spain, 1932, 1937, 2017. In three different times, three homosexual men face a society which does not offer them the same freedoms. Their stories reach out to each other, connected by pain, desire and memory. An uncompleted work by Federico Garcia Lorca inspires a film which expands its world into a queer, romantic, poetic tapestry. Eras intertwine and the love stories which history tried to erase continue to echo. An unmissable film from Los Javis, key figures in Spain's contemporary queer cinema.

Between destruction of administrative norms and animal complicity, a body refuses the dichotomy of mind/body in order to embrace a planetary 'dysphoria', defined not as a disease, but as resistance and a new way of inhabiting the world.

Together for a decade, Seon-woo and Hee-seo have bought an apartment on the outskirts of Seoul. When Seon-woo loses her job after an accident, Hee-seo, still in the closet to those around her, must cover the loan repayment on her own. Meanwhile, Seon-woo follows a foul stench and finds the corpse of their neighbour, then becoming utterly obsessed with the dead woman's story. An intimate and enchanting portrait of two women on the verge of collapse: one haunted by her fears of living alone and forgotten, the other by society's expectations.

Conférence: La vie à l’œuvre. Entretien avec Didier Eribon et Geoffroy de Lagasnerie
On the occasion of the screening of La conscience politique, a portrait of Geoffroy de Lagasnerie directed by Léolo Victor-Pujebet, and the reissue of Didier Eribon’s biography of the renowned philosopher Michel Foucault, Pink Screens brings together these two major figures of contemporary thought for an extended conversation at Cinema Palace.
The discussion will begin with the fundamental question of the interplay between thought and life, particularly when those lives are queer lives. How does theoretical work take shape at the intersection of a personal journey, social experiences and a gay life? How can life nourish or embody thought? And, in turn, how can political, sociological or philosophical thinking radically transform a way of life, or even propose new ways of living?
This encounter builds on the questions raised by cinema when it goes beyond simply portraying lives or ideas and instead shows how thought takes shape through bodies, gestures and stories, making the screen a unique space for dialogue between work and existence. An encounter between art and life that echoes one of Foucault’s powerful final ideas, shortly before his death from AIDS, concerning the possibility of an “aesthetics of existence”: can we make each individual’s life into a work of art?
Didier Eribon is a sociologist and philosopher. He is the author of numerous works, including Réflexions sur la question gay, Retour à Reims and Michel Foucault, 1926-1984, a new edition of which has recently been published in Flammarion’s Champs collection.
Geoffroy de Lagasnerie is a sociologist and philosopher. His works include 3. Une aspiration au dehors. Éloge de l’amitié, Par delà le principe de répression. Dix leçons sur l’abolitionnisme pénal and L’âme noire de la démocratie. All three were published by Flammarion.

Grant Green tribute
Gonzalo Rodriguez Diaz - Guitar
Gaëtan Casteels - Double bas
Didier Van Uytvanck - Drums
TBC - Key
This quartet pays tribute to the music and unique sound of Grant Green, one of the most distinctive guitarists of the Blue Note era.
With guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, the band explores the different facets of Green’s music, from blues-driven hard bop to Latin jazz, soul and funk. The repertoire combines some of Green’s own compositions — including *Blues for Willarene*, *Grant’s Tune*, *Jean De Fleur*, *Idle Moments*, *Matador* and *Solid* — with tunes that became part of his unmistakable musical universe.
Rather than aiming to recreate the original recordings note for note, the quartet takes Green’s music as a starting point for a lively, groove-oriented performance, with plenty of room for improvisation and interaction between the musicians.
The programme follows a musical journey through Green’s career, moving from the swinging, blues-based language of his early Blue Note recordings towards the Latin and funky sounds of his later work.
A tribute to a guitarist whose warm tone, deep groove and unmistakably bluesy phrasing continue to inspire generations of musicians.

Michel Mainil / Greg Houben Reunion 5tet
Two leading figures of Belgian jazz, Michel Mainil and Greg Houben, reunite on the Music Village stage for a moment of pure musical delight. Surrounded by exceptional musicians — Jérémy Dumont on piano, Jean Van Lint on double bass, and Jan de Haas on drums — they form a quintet brimming with energy, chemistry, and joy.
The Reunion 5tet is where melody, swing, and emotion meet — where the warm tone of Greg Houben’s flugelhorn and his elegant voice respond to the expressive phrasing of Michel Mainil’s saxophone. Together, they explore a repertoire blending great jazz standards with a nod to Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, all delivered with their signature humor and sincerity.

Prostitute
Formed in 2020 in Dearborn, Michigan, Prostitute is an experimental post-punk and Arab rock band. Born out of the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown, the band’s debut album, Attempted Martyr, was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence, greed, and lust.
The band was initially formed by Moe Kazra who enlisted childhood friends Andrew Kaster and Dylan Zaranski, with Ross Babinski and Bret Wall later completing the lineup. Together, they self-funded the album, working with legendary engineer Chris Koltay to shape a sound that's both abrasive and hypnotic—an unrelenting blend of warped guitars, primitive basslines, frenzied drumming, and corrosive synthesizers, interwoven with samples from diverse cultures, ranging from African to Middle Eastern and East Asian influences.
Tracks like “All Hail” (inspired by the 1977 Hanafi Siege of Washington D.C.) immerses listeners in a volatile, hostage-like environment. "Judge" channels Milton's Satan in a chilling rallying cry, while “Body Meat” grapples with religious desperation and the tenuous boundary between faith and madness. Khachab and Kaster’s lyrics have been described by Pitchfork as "disturbingly poetic" with the ability to "lacerate with image alone." Crude sloganeering and scenes of horrific violence are juxtaposed with literary allusion and Islamic symbolism, creating what the band calls a "theatricalization of terrorism." Through this lens, they examine and critique the xenophobic stereotypes targeted at Arabs, distorting them into grotesque caricatures.
Over the past four years, Prostitute has established a reputation for their punishing, high-energy performances. The band’s live shows, described as “dangerous” and “volatile”, finds Moe delivering politically charged sermons atop a deafening bacchanal of sound. In 2023, Prostitute performed at the re-opening of the iconic UFO Bar in Detroit, followed by a series of benefit concerts for Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan. These performances solidified their growing presence, leading to invites to play at No Rest Fest and New Colossus Festival.
As Prostitute continues work on their sophomore album, they are delving deeper into electronic and Arabic dance influences, drawing inspiration from the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Their sound continues to evolve, with new tracks incorporating dabke rhythms, Arabesque melodicism, and industrial synth textures, all while retaining the same anarchic energy that defines their unique sound.

Les Chroniques de l'Inutile
In January 2017, Les Chroniques de l'Inutile played the first concert at Walter. Almost ten years later, the band returns to present its third album, Hapax (IGLOO Records). The album features twelve compositions by Benjamin Sauzereau, written in his familiar poetic style, with a penchant for unusual forms, abrupt shifts, rich arrangements and playfulness.
January 2017. Walter is still an empty warehouse, freshly vacated by its previous owners. There is one tiny toilet, and the only staircase is in a questionable state. The bar is a table with two crates of beer underneath, and we can see our breath in the cold air. The laws and objections of the fire brigade, insurance companies and Class 2 environmental permits are not yet standing between us and the dream. The first artists have claimed a studio space for themselves, and it is there that Les Chroniques de l’Inutile get to reign supreme for an evening. After almost a decade of Walter, inviting them back felt like the most natural thing in the world!
Now, the band returns to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary and the release of its third album, Hapax (IGLOO Records). The album features twelve compositions by Sauzereau, written in his familiar, poetic style, with a fondness for unusual forms, abrupt shifts, rich arrangements and playfulness. His compositions are always written with specific musicians in mind — musicians with diverse backgrounds and vivid imaginations. They are precise, yet leave plenty of room for unexpected detours. And this time, they can finally be experienced in Walter’s concert hall.
“No chaos, no rigid framework, but a lively balancing act between freedom and organisation, jazz and chamber music.” — Enola Magazine

Ceci n'est pas Noire: act II
Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II by Alesandra Seutin at KVS is an immersive performance on identity, body and belonging. The work explores hybrid identity, transformation and the tension between vulnerability and strength.
Alesandra Seutin presents Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II, a performance that understands the body as a site of echo and cultural resonance, where conceptions of identity and belonging are constantly transformed. Immersive in nature, the work reflects on Alesandra’s experience of being of both white European and Black Southern African heritage, a constant negotiation between intimacy and exposure, vulnerability and projection, Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II is about embracing inner tensions in the discovery of one’s own truth. Between surreal visions and hybrid narrative forms the piece unfolds through an episodic structure, punctuated by multiple figures embodied effortlessly through Seutin’s movement vocabulary. Gestures, vocals and live sounds intertwine to awaken memories, traverse geographical and personal landscapes, and reveal the layered complexity of a hybrid identity. In Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II, Seutin explores anew her earlier 2013 work of the same name. She deftly interweaves character devices to explore themes of the external gaze, transformation and assumed social roles, questioning how appearances can be fluid and deceptive. An intimate but frontal journey, Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II invites audiences to consider the body as a space of memory, imagination, vulnerability and, ultimately, strength. Looking to delve deeper into Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II?Read the dramaturgical text by Funmi Adewole Elliott, dramaturg for Alesandra Seutin and Ceci n’est pas Noire: Act II, HERE.

Lena Willikens
Layering extended lines of polyrhythmic thought that can only be properly understood in-the-flow – by bodies in motion – Lena Willikens can switch gears in the blink of an ear between upfront UK bass mutations, motorik offbeats, and nEuropean synth curios – all is welcome as long as it is twisted in a one-of-a-kind way, and no two sets are ever the same. Lena hosts 2 regular shows on NTS (Homunkuli, and Lightning Conductor), holds down a DJ residency at Düsseldorf’s free-spirited club/bar Salon Des Amateurs, and releases her own productions on Dekmantel Rec. More or less permanently traveling to clubs and festivals all around the globe (often in the fine company of her spiritual brethren-partner-fan Vladimir Ivkovic), the term “DJ royalty” just might have been coined for an artist such as Lena Willikens.

Guillaume Waulsort is a Belgian singer-songwriter. His music falls under French rock, with pop and folk undertones.He stands out for his finely crafted lyrics, inviting us into his powerful yet sensitive musical universe. He draws us into his quest for elegance, constantly striving to dare, to fight, and to be reborn.He draws inspiration from artists such as Alain Bashung, Saez, Benjamin Biolay, Raphaël, Gérald De Palmas, Noir Désir, Axel Bauer, Daran, or Radio Elvis, as well as Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Placebo, or Black Keys.Following his first 4-track EP which explored the 'Abime' (abyss), his second EP titled Impitoyable asserts his style with a harder-hitting sound and unwavering determination. Impitoyable (relentless) is a reflection of the times we live in. In response, through his words and music, Guillaume Waulsort delivers this EP—not to crush or defeat anyone, but to bring people together around deeply human vibrations.On stage, he is joined by guitarist Antoine Pulinckx, bassist Olivier Catala, and drummer Lucas Pozo Olivera. Together, they deliver mesmerizing performances, blending soaring progressive tracks with powerful rock songs that strike both the heart and the gut."Souhaitez-vous ajuster légèrement la longueur de l'une de ces sections, ou intégrer des informations pratiques (comme les dates de concert d'Andenne ou d'Auvelais) à la fin ?

Lignes de fracture
Transcendant les générations, un quatuor de femmes explore les intersections de la danse et de l’art plastique. Inspirée par les logogrammes de Christian Dotremont ou les graffitis qui recouvrent les murs de nos villes, Michèle Noiret revisite le corps et la trace. Autant de propositions pour inventer des partitions chorégraphiques à partir de traces existantes.
The dance/cinema fashioned by Michèle Noiret is present here, with no camera, in a haze of reality-fiction, temporal overlaps, deliberately disrupted perception. On stage are four women, of various ages. Between them is a web of questioning taken from Siri Hustvedt in Vivre Penser Regarder, regarding human interaction, memory, imagination. Within them, intimate monologues. Through them, an onslaught on the conventions governing the fate of women, for so long erasing them from history, and even now threatening the progress they have made.Sustained from the start by literature, cinema, the plastic arts, guided by her intuition towards unknown territories, the choreographer crowns forty years of creation with Lignes de fracture. Her journey has been one of tirelessly inventing, together, step by step, “something that was previously unknown to us”.

The film was very poorly received by the gay community at the time, and yet Friedkin does not denigrate homosexuality, or even sadomasochism. He even seems fascinated by a good old-fashioned fist-fucking in the depths of New York's darkrooms...

Drum & Beer #45: Cellarman & Phase3 Bday Bash
Our fortyfifth party is up with a double birthday bash !
We will be celebrating the birthdays of Cellarman and Phase3 in the first location where Drum & Beer felt at home, L’Excelsior Stam Cool Cafe in Jette.
Curated by Phase3, this event’s line up is focused on diversity and inclusion - Ukrainian-born DJ, Halushko, well known Dutch artist Operator21 and Romanian vocalist and producer Raluca Stan from Resurgence. A Cellarman B2B Phase3 set with Seka on the scratches will be the first act of the night.
Musical variety is on board, we always encourage our DJs to build a diverse musical journey, with a general stylistic direction ; this time we’ve organised the timetable to start with deep rollers and go to the harder side of DnB, but many different sounds will pop up in between.
The event takes place at Excelsior Stam Cool Cafe, a nice small bar next to Jette’s train station. The place is cozy, with that old school Brussels bar decor from times past, reminding you that this bar has been around for a very long time. Their team is super nice, and they’ve been keeping the cultural heart of Jette pumping strong by hosting a large diversity of events on a regular basis for many years.
Their beer menu is huge and very well chosen, boasting over 100 different beers, with more than half of them coming from local craft producers. You can even explore their drinks menu online: https://excelsior.cafe/. If you want to discover the large taste palette that Belgium's beers offer, you’re at the right place !
We are proud of the values that guide our actions at Drum & Beer:
Quality, Respect, Tolerance, Sharing, Fun, Transparency, and Integrity.
We are also very proud to see that our audience has picked up on them and is putting them in practice, so we ask you kindly to keep them in mind and apply them as much as you can when taking part in our events, to help us keep the atmosphere as true to our intention as possible.
Accessibility
- Bus 14 and 88 stop at Gare de Jette (3 min. walk), Bus 13 and 83 stop at Eugène Toussaint (6 min. walk)
- Tram 19 stops at Gare de Jette (3 min. walk), trams 51, 62 and 93 stop at Cimetière de Jette (7 min. walk).
- Metro 6 stops at Stuyvenbergh (20 min. walk)
- Train: Jette Station (2 min. walk)
- Bike: There are bike stalls near the venue to securely attach your bike to. The neighborhood is pretty safe, so with a good quality bike lock you should be fine, but if you come with an electric bike and feel safer bringing the battery into the bar, we can put it on the side of the stage in a safe spot if you ask us kindly.
- Car: Parking on the street is free from 20.00 to 09.00, but you’ll probably need to drive around a bit to find a parking spot. There are several paying parkings 10 to 15 minutes walking from the venue, but in this area I think the easiest is parking on the street. If you come from outside Brussels, you can park your car in a P+R parking on the outside of the city, some are even outside of the LEZ (Low Emission Zone), so you don’t get a fine if your car is not allowed inside it, and you will be able to take public transport from the parking to the party.

New Beginnings - Isabelle Ingold & Vivianne Perelmuter
In the presence of the film directors on 28 October and 6 November
Vietnam War veteran Al Moon lives alone on his tribe's land in Northern California. As violence and environmental destruction bear down on the reservation, old anxieties resurface, pushing Al to hit the road to confront what haunts him and reconnect with the men from his battalion. Each encounter along the way reveals a divided country grappling with its own wounds-a troubling reflection of his inner turmoil. « The past clings, especially when you try to run from it », Al reflects. He chooses to face it head-on, hoping to finally glimpse other possibilities.
The film won the Grand Prix at the last edition of Festival En Ville.
Isabelle Ingold is a freelance editor and director. She graduated at the Femis in the editing department. As an editor, she has worked with Amos Gitai, Vincent Dieutre, Bojena Horackova, Hélène Mariani, Itvan Kebadian and many others. She is a professeor at the Femis and the University of Corsica. New Beginnings is her sixth collaboration with Vivianne Perelmuter. Their previous film, Ailleurs Partout, was honored with the Scam's Star Award.
Vivianne Perelmuter is a Belgian-Brazilian filmmaker based in Brussels and Paris. After studying philosophy, she entered the Fémis in the directing department. Her medium-lenght and short-films have been widely screened at international festivals and won awards. Her work ranges across both documentary and fiction but also takes in photography and installations. She is a member of the artistic team of SIC in Brussels. In 2023, she was a "guest artist professor" at Le Fresnoy - National Studio of Contemporary Arts.
This event marks the official opening of Le Mois du Doc 2026.
The screening on 31/10 will be introduced in English by Luciana Tellez Chavez, Senior Researcher, Environment and Human Rights at Human Rights Watch. The screening on 08/11 will take place in the presence of Ludo De Brabander, spokesperson for Vrede vzw, and Samuel Legros, Research and Advocacy Officer at CNAPD. Both organisations coordinate the Belgian platform Stop Militarisation.

Parcours d'artistes d'Ixelles
From 6 to 8 November 2026, Parcours d’Artistes d’Ixelles invites you to discover 120 artists across 90 venues throughout the municipality. Studios, homes, schools, cultural venues and unexpected spaces open their doors for three days of painting, photography, sculpture, performances, dance and music. Discover Ixelles’ vibrant art scene up close.
Organised and coordinated by Vaisseau Mère non-profit association, with the support of the Municipality of Ixelles, the Parcours d’Artistes d’Ixelles 2026 will take place on 6, 7 and 8 November 2026.
The idea is simple: for three days, to turn Ixelles into one large open-air artistic trail by opening the doors of studios, homes, cultural venues, schools, associations and all kinds of places that you would not normally have the opportunity to visit.
This year, the Parcours will bring together around 120 artists across 90 different locations throughout the municipality. Participants include the École des Arts d’Ixelles, Rhizomes, Créahm, Usquare, the Ateliers Kult XL, the Boondael Chapel and ULB Culture, alongside numerous artists’ studios, private homes, collective spaces and more unexpected venues.
Some locations will receive particular attention, with more developed curatorial proposals. This will notably be the case at l’Horloge du Sud, with a carefully curated selection featuring, among others, the work of Maliza Kiasuwa, a Belgian-Congolese artist whose practice explores abstract painting and sculpture.
The Parcours is deliberately highly multidisciplinary. Alongside visual arts, photography, painting, sculpture and installations, visitors will also discover performances, dance, music and other hybrid forms. The aim is to showcase the diversity of artistic practices being developed in Ixelles today, bringing together both emerging and established artists, as well as more experimental approaches.
An important part of the project is also about opening up artists’ living and working spaces. We do not simply want to present finished works, but also give the public the opportunity to step into studios, meet artists, discover their working environments and, sometimes, get a glimpse into their daily lives. The Parcours thus becomes an opportunity to create encounters between artists, neighbours, residents and people passing through the municipality.
To make the whole experience easier to navigate, the trail will be organised around several hubs — the university district, Flagey and Fernand Cocq — with the route of bus 95 serving as a common thread. This bus line crosses a large part of Ixelles, providing a natural link between different neighbourhoods, venues and atmospheres, and making it easy for visitors to move from one location to another.
**Côté fenêtre**
This year, we will also welcome an associated artist, Lucie Sans Peur, with her project Côté fenêtre.
The idea is to invite artists to display their work behind the windows or shopfronts of Ixelles residents. The works remain visible from the street, turning windows into small galleries that are open to everyone throughout the Parcours.
We particularly like this project because it perfectly reflects the spirit we want to give this edition: taking art out of its usual spaces, bringing it directly into the city and creating encounters between artists, residents and passers-by.
**Three days of programming**
The Parcours will open on Friday 6 November from 6 pm to 10 pm, with the opening of studios, homes and exhibitions, as well as a launch evening featuring, among other things, music and dance.
On Saturday 7 November, the venues will be open from 11 am to 6 pm.
On Sunday 8 November, the trail will continue from 11 am to 6 pm, with a particular focus on children and families.
The weekend will also incorporate several exhibitions already planned across the area, including *L’image élargie*, organised by Image Fantôme at the Boondael Chapel. The exhibition brings together eight artists around an expanded approach to photography, incorporating other media such as weaving, 3D printing, screen printing and risograph printing. There will also be the group exhibition *ALLUVIONS* at the Salle Wiertz.
Ultimately, this edition is about making the Parcours d’Artistes d’Ixelles more than simply a succession of exhibitions.
For three days, 120 artists, 90 venues and an entire municipality will come together around artistic creation.
We want to create a generous, accessible and lively trail, where you can move from a home to a school, from a studio to a performance, from an exhibition to a concert, and above all, where you can meet the people who bring Ixelles’ creative scene to life.

Noordhaus Theatre Double Bill: Private View by Václav Havel, and Room Number Three
Join Noordhaus for an evening of English-language theatre in the heart of Brussels! Whether you're in for a comedy about the cyclical absurdity of a corporate meeting that just won't end, or you want to sit in on an awkward visit between friends as they navigate the new furnishings and social dynamics that come with a political regime change, Noordhaus has you covered!
ROOM NUMBER THREE
The board of directors are meeting again. In their endless pursuit of the perfectly optimized meeting, looping discussions about their previous meetings are leading them further and further away from their planned agenda. What begins as the expected absurdity inherent to any corporate meeting slowly morphs into non-sensical topic changes, tense exchanges between participants, and an ultimate descent into chaos from which not even the most professional of executives can recover.
PRIVATE VIEW
Ferdinand Vaněk has been invited to his friends’ house, affluent couple Vera and Michael. Met with the surprising sight of a completely remodeled apartment, Ferdinand can do little else than play along with his friends’ new-found eccentric opulence. As the night’s conversations turn from casual to personal, and later to invasive, Ferdinand wonders what could have happened to Vera and Michael since he last saw them. Certainly the recent sudden change of their country’s political regime could not have anything to do with it.

ماحلى خیالك [Beautiful Shadows]
Exile and Shadows
Four dancers and a musician, all with backgrounds shaped by exile, invite us into a living ritual, exploring the traces left behind when we are forced to leave a country, a childhood, a home: traces etched into places and memories, traces that time cannot erase.
Like the enduring shadow cast on a wall by someone who is no longer there, memory remains. It surfaces unexpectedly, bringing the bustle of the present to a brief halt. It settles into a gesture, the scent of coffee, a song in the distance, an inner rhythm that you carry with you wherever you go, like the home you have never entirely left behind.
ماحلى خﯾالك [Beautiful Shadows] is the second production by Ahmed Ayed to be presented at Les Brigittines, following … And Nobody Else (2024).

Je suis un voleur • Loutfi Chama Fabrice Murgia
A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another
Fabrice Murgia returns to the Théâtre National with a production that combines an epic scope with the realism of a deeply immersive narrative.
A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another: sent to a care centre at the age of 2 on the initiative of social services, he was subsequently put through a series of institutions for minors before being sent to prison several times for petty crimes. His meeting with Fabrice Murgia sparked the idea of telling his story, a necessary step towards finally managing to deal with life ‘on the outside’.
Designed for an intimate stage setting, in close proximity to the audience, Je suis un voleur unfolds the episodes of Loutfi’s past as a series of scenes brought to life by the performers. This unique, almost novelistic journey sheds light on a whole facet of life in detention centres, a violent, dead-end world that still deserves our attention today.

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a stylish crime film and a tender, melancholic ode to a changing New York. Set against the city’s iconic streets, with an atmospheric soundtrack and an impressive cast including John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buscemi and Jamie Lee Curtis, Noah Segan paints a world where old habits and faded glory are increasingly under pressure. Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an old-school pickpocket in a time when his profession is slowly dying out. Still, he keeps stealing to make ends meet and to care for his seriously ill wife, Rosie. When what seems like a simple theft unexpectedly brings him something of great value, Harry becomes entangled in a dangerous web of criminals. What follows is a nerve-racking race through the streets of New York, as Harry must rely on his old-school skills, his network and his instincts to save himself and get his stolen goods back. With suspense, dry humor, melancholy and a sharp eye for the city, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York tells a story about loyalty, faded glory and what remains when the world around you changes forever.

Autumn camp: Stop-motion workshop
Inspired by the Soul Witness exhibition, WIELS is offering a week-long stop-motion workshop for children during the autumn holidays.
A short film The Watchman, by artist Ali Cherri, tells the story of a guard who spends long hours alone in a watchtower. Little by little, he begins to dream and see strange things...
What is he thinking about? What might he see around him? Animals? People? Monsters? Fantastical creatures? Or perhaps something that exists only in dreams?
Children are invited to make up their own story and let their imaginations run wild. They then create their characters and settings, before learning how to bring them to life, frame by frame, using stop-motion!
In collaboration with A Place To Live (info@aplacetolive.be)
Practical:
For ages 6 to 12
5-day workshop, Monday through Friday
Hours: 9:00 to 4:15 (early drop-off from 8:00 and childcare until 17:30)

The representations take place at the Centre Culturel d’Uccle (Rue Rouge, 47 à 1180 Uccle).
This lecture/debate – which celebrated its 600th performance in July 2025 – explores, through a pop-based and iconoclastic approach, the invariability of the past participle of (French) verbs that use the auxiliary verb ‘avoir’.

The exhibition: A quest for raw emotion
A Brussels-based expressionist painter active for over fifteen years, Jérôme Selosse develops an instinctive and visceral style of painting. His work explores the body, gesture, and movement through the material itself. During this event, you can admire his expressionist portraits (of literary figures such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Kafka, or Schiele) as well as his canvases vibrant with energy.
The performance: A participatory action-painting workshop
Each day, the artist invites you to become a part of the creative process. Under his guidance, participate in the creation of a monumental collective artwork (one 2 x 3 m canvas per day). In the spirit of action painting, leave your gestures, colours, and textures to bring to life a collaborative work that evolves with every visitor's touch.
Studio opening hours:
Friday 6 November: 18:00 – 22:00
Saturday 7 November: 12:00 – 20:00
Sunday 8 November: 10:00 – 17:00

September 1940: Pétain’s regime takes hold. Henri Marre, aged 49, arrives in Vichy penniless, with no contacts, far from his wife and children. He sees the new administration as an opportunity to finally find the position he deserves. In his suitcase is his self-published political treatise, *Notre Salut*, in which he defends his patriotic convictions and his engineering methods. His credo: ‘to become more efficient’ in order to lift France out of its debacle. But perhaps Henri is, above all, seeking to escape his own personal debacle…

Gaspard Melville - Bruxelles Chaos
BXL, CADAVRE EXQUIS Dans une véritable déclaration d’amour à Bruxelles, Gaspard Melville révèle avec un humour décapant les secrets de fabrication de sa ville natale. Mi-historien, mi-stand-upper, il nous entraîne dans l’ADN de Bruxelles, un territoire surréaliste et réfractaire à toute forme de discipline.Coup de cœur du TTO, ce seul-en-scène investit la grande salle pour raconter l’épopée bruxelloise, depuis le voûtement de la Senne jusqu'à l’Expo 58, de l’humour de la STIB au bourgmestre à dos d’éléphant.Après avoir créé la page “Les Visites de mon voisin” sur les réseaux, Gaspard Melville condense dans ce spectacle ses meilleures anecdotes. Il nous emmène dans l’envers du décor pour tenter de capter l’âme insaisissable de cette ville en mille morceaux. Résultat : 80 minutes de natation désynchronisée dans le grand bain bruxellois. Et si Gaspard égratigne parfois la ville au passage, son spectacle lui rend tout de même hommage : une ville sans dogme, capable du pire comme du meilleur, où la beauté peut surgir du chaos.

House of Memory / by Basil Al-Rawi
A VR journey through archives and Iraqi stories.
House of Memory / is an immersive Virtual Reality experience by artist Basil Al-Rawi. Based on photographs and oral testimonies from the Iraq Photo Archive, he transforms archival material into a virtual space where memories can be revisited and explored.
In this 15-minute experience, you encounter personal stories of Iraq in the 1970s, as remembered by those who lived there. Through voices and images, Iraq emerges as a space of cultural richness and everyday life, shaped by memory and displacement of its people. The work offers a rare perspective on Iraqi history and diaspora experience.
Basil Al-Rawi works across photography, moving images, sculpture and digital technologies, exploring memory, identity and archival storytelling. The project was developed as part of his PhD research at the Glasgow School of Art.
House of Memory is part of Ireland's cultural programme for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The Six - Reiner Holzemer
In the presence of the director on the 3rd of November
Forty years ago, six young fashion designers from Antwerp conquered the international runways and permanently transformed the world of fashion. Through their avant-garde designs, Walter Van Beirendonck, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dirk Van Saene and Marina Yee placed Belgium at the forefront of the international fashion scene.They soon became known as The Antwerp Six, a label that, despite their differing visions, united them into a mythical collective. But was this group identity a reality, or mainly a construct created by the outside world?In The Six, they share their personal stories, their vision of fashion, the impact of their friendship, and the enduring influence they have had around the world.Reiner Holzemer has been working as a documentary film director since 1983. The portraits of internationally renowned artists, especially from the fields of photography and fashion, are the focus of his work to date. His films Dries (2016) about fashion designer Dries Van Noten, and Martin Margiela - In His Own Words (2019) have been screened at film festivals worldwide. In his most recent documentary (2026) he explores the cultural significance of the Leica camera and its lasting impact on visual history.

Jean Brusselmans - Painter by nature
In autumn 2026, Bozar will present a major retrospective of the painter Jean Brusselmans (1884–1953), the first comprehensive exhibition of his work since 1980. From the early 20th century onwards, Brusselmans developed a distinctive body of work, independent of artistic trends yet firmly rooted in painterly tradition. His deep connection to the Brabant landscape and his modest way of life are translated into an authentic and recognisable visual language, situated at the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Through some 120 works, the exhibition introduces visitors to the remarkable oeuvre of a still underappreciated Belgian artist. Dialogues with contemporaries such as Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian and Rik Wouters offer a fresh perspective on his work.
The exhibition also highlights Brusselmans’ decorative commissions for the theatre, including the monumental sets he designed for the first French-language production of the opera Erwartung by Arnold Schoenberg at the Centre for Fine Arts in 1936. These lost stage designs are brought back to life by the contemporary Belgian painter Kristof Santy (b. 1987), who frequently draws inspiration from Brusselmans in his own work.

Exhibition | Perreología
José Miguel del Pozo (1985, Venezuela) presents 'Perreología' at Espace F.12, an exhibition arising from his fanzine 'Only Doguettes' (2020) and exploring our intention to spend all day looking at screens. Revealing a form of soft voyeurism, pixels of poor images appear in front of us to question these video surveillance images that are gradually becoming normalized.
A black-haired dog with curly fur licks herself on a rug. Queen Dembow, the dog, has a diva-like character, or so they say. When her owner is not at home, she is filmed non-stop by a camera installed in her living room, which broadcasts her images to her owner's mobile phone via the internet, and consequently to the world. Come and joins us for an exhibition on artist's publications, pixels, dogs and more!

Explore chillingly accurate crime scene recreations, decode evidence, and master criminal profiling. This immersive 90-minute journey at Tour & Taxis goes beyond the headlines to reveal the dark psychology of killers like Dahmer and Bundy. Dare to solve the case? (376 characters)
Are you ready to confront the darkest corners of the human mind? Mind of a Serial Killer: The Experience has arrived in Brussels, inviting you on a chilling, immersive 30-stop journey through the psychology and history of the world's most notorious murderers. Located at Tour & Taxis, this extraordinary exhibition goes far beyond the true-crime headlines.
Step straight into the eerily accurate recreations of infamous crime scenes—from Ted Bundy's Beetle to Jeffrey Dahmer's kitchen. But you won't just be a spectator. You’ll step into the shoes of a lead investigator! Examine victimology reports, decode hidden evidence, and learn the real forensic profiling techniques used to bring these monsters to justice. You can even strap in for a gripping VR experience to help solve a case in real-time.
Designed for mature audiences (16+), the 90 to 120-minute experience does not glorify the killers.

Mind of a Serial Killer : The Experience
William Kentridge - I am not me, the horse is not mine
William Kentridge began his artistic career at the height of the political struggle against the apartheid regime in his native South Africa. His work bears witness to a profound commitment – at once social, political and poetic – that continues to shape his artistic practice to this day.
Kentridge’s artistic output ranges from drawings, animated films and sculptures to prints, installations and videos. These works often emerge while he is directing a theatre or opera production, another field to which he devotes his energies. I am not me, the horse is not mine, William Kentridge’s solo exhibition at Bozar, offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre from the early 1980s to the present day. Several of his major stage productions receive special attention. The exhibition highlights the performative and collaborative nature of Kentridge’s practice, in which he allows art to evolve into a space for political inquiry, historical reckoning and poetic transformation.
William Kentridge will take over one of Bozar’s major exhibition spaces, create site-specific works, and curate a rich, multidisciplinary programme. This is by no means the first time we have welcomed Kentridge to Brussels. He has a long-standing connection with the city, where he premiered his first opera (Faustus in Africa! 1995), and where Bozar presented his first solo exhibition in Europe in 1998.

They were friends before the world went to war. One evening left a question history has never answered. Michael Frayn’s multi-award-winning Copenhagen revisits one of the greatest mysteries of the Second World War.
They were friends before the world went to war.
Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg once worked closely to unlock the secrets of the atom. Then war placed them on opposite sides. It’s 1941. Heisenberg visits Nazi-occupied Copenhagen to meet his former mentor, Bohr, and wife, Margrethe. What passed between them has never been agreed upon. As the three revisit that fateful evening, memories clash, motives are questioned, and certainty proves elusive.
Starring Eva Fontaine (Amandaland, BBC), Peter Hald (The Bridge, SVT/DR), and Manuel Klein (War Horse, National Theatre), Michael Frayn’s multi-award-winning play Copenhagen returns one of the greatest mysteries of the Second World War: Why did Heisenberg come?

L’image élargie
"Presented at the Chapelle de Boondael in Ixelles from 5 to 29 November 2026, the exhibition The Expanded Image showcases the work of a collective of artists based at the Usquare studios. The project challenges the traditional boundaries of photography by reinventing its materiality in the digital age. By bringing photography into dialogue with other media, such as weaving, painting, collage, analogue photography and 3D printing, the artists transform the photographic image into texture, pattern and sculptural form.
