‘A pedir de boca’ is a highly original spectacle conceived by Laura Kumin aimed at contemporary dance fans and foodies alike. Spectators can sit on stage, eating while they watch five dance performance or, for a lower price, watch from the stalls and enjoy tasty canapés. Each choreographed piece is, in some way, inspired by the dish the audience is simulatenously eating. The show continues through first course, main course and pudding, to coffee and brandy.
Brussels by Light
If any city could be described as a chameleon, it would be Brussels. Alternating between a big village, with a real sense of community, and a bureaucratic wasteland, inhabited more by office-blocks than people, it draws a curiously ambivalent response from visitors and residents alike. This exhibition captures that juxtaposition of ugliness and beauty, using the works of 11 photo-artists, including such celebrated snappers as Dirk Braeckman and Marin Kasimir. Organised as part of the events for Brussels’ stint as a European City of Culture.
