Podium

Two highly interesting jazz ensembles in a highly anticipated double bill.

This spectacular event will pay tribute to the first passenger train ride on the European continent that took place on 5 May 1835, between Brussels and Mechelen.

L'Europe noire is a poetic travelogue through black Europe. Slam poet and musician Lisette Ma Neza follows Johny Pitts' book Afropean as a travel guide and preliminary research for a new performance.

The concert starts with a fugue for 4 diesel locomotives. Subject, counter-subject, divertimenti, dominant and tonic pedals are heard from four loudspeakers installed in the four corners of the auditorium.

Under the moniker Lara Rosseel Quintet, the double bassist continues her conquest with a young quintet as well as new repertoire.

For Rombouts, playing music is instant composition; for Vanden Eynde, dancing is thinking. Hyphen shows the strength and the vulnerability of acting and being present in the here and now.

The new album by saxophonist Kurt Van Herck, guitarist Willem Heylen and drummer Eric Thielemans - together Cinema Paradiso - once again draws on a richly padded marathon session.

In a danced analysis of the alphabet, the dancer and choreographer Femke Gyselinck investigates the relationship between movement and typography, dance and the shape of letters.

Countertenor, performer and opera director Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe and producer Laurens Mariën join forces again for an electronic concert that swings between a show and a love ritual.
