As you’d expect from Mec Yek, their most recent album SuperDiverCity contains some musical surprises: the band travels back to its nostalgic roots, from the early years with the Roma in Slovakia, to more contemporary and urban dub, ska, latin and soul. Some songs show minimal orchestration, other pull out all the stops. But, against all expectations: Mec Yek is a gypsy band without violin.Read more
With Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Théo 2.0, one can (re-)look at the world through the eyes of children. Kids, parents and grandparents are allowed to walk around as robots, to dance on chairs, to get visits from uncle Jazz, to play ABCDetective and much more... Depending on the audience they sing in Dutch or French or, in the best of all worlds, in both languages. Piet Maris and Theophane Raballand go mad on accordion and drums ... and with the audience, which is constantly challenged to sing, dance, jump and...Read more
Choux de Bruxelles presents YANA,
a short film by Sarah Baur
Pauline est un monologue, basé sur l'histoire d'une réfugiée arrivée à Bruxelles après de nombreuses errances.
Sarah Baur a rencontré Pauline à la demande de Médecins du Monde / Dokters van de Wereld et elle a écrit un texte sur base du témoignage de Pauline.
Ensuite, Pauline et Sarah ont collaborée sur la création de films stop motion en papier coupé.
Cela a resulté dans un spectacle d'une demie heure: un bon point de départ pour des discussions, des débats ou des conférences interactives.
Dans le cours de 2020 une version en français verra le jour.Read more
Een experimentele mini-fanfare die in trio (accordeon, percussie en blazer) gaat voor improvisatie binnen een breed palet van stijlen: van akoestische dub, reggae, over balkan en gipsy tot bossa en musette... Afhankelijk van het publiek kan het al wat avontuurlijker of toegankelijker worden, discreter of interactiever, maar wel allemaal eigen repertoire!Read more
