Beurssc50uwburg - Under construction since 1965

Beurssc50uwburg - Under construction since 1965

5 February through 27 July 2015

With e.g.: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Walter Swennen, David Helbich, Jan Fabre, AMVK, Ant Hampton, Salon Magnétique, Humo’s Rally, Jefta Van Dinther, Argos, Ariel Pink, en vele, vele anderen.

On 5th February 2015 will celebrate its 50th birthday. An memorable day in the arts centre's history. We will blow out the birtday candles with music, theatre and dance, exhibitions, friends old and new, film and video, a book and cake. It won't be a regular trip down memory lane, the programme includes a selection of what Beursschouwburg was during the 50-year history and what, in our opinion, it might become in its next millenium: a platform within the arts, embracing the hybrid. 

With: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Walter Swennen, David Helbich, Jan Fabre, AMVK, Ant Hampton, Salon Magnétique, Humo’s Rally, Jefta Van Dinther, Argos, Ariel Pink, and many many more.

About Beursschouwburg

Beursschouwburg is a multidisciplinary center for arts and reflection, an open meeting place strongly anchored in Brussels’ reality. Here we embrace the local, the global and the glocal. 

Beursschouwburg functions as a platform to present and develop a wide array of art practices and research, as a  support and experimentation network for artists, collectives and thinkers; a hub that questions normativity and welcomes new narratives.

Together with collaborators, we co-create programs that ignite fruitful encounters between different audiences, forms and genres, between art and everyday life, between the emerging and the established, between urgency and joy.
