Do you love the live experience but want to experience more than the ‘black box’ of the theatre and the ‘white cube’ of the museum? Then the Festival Beyond the Black Box is your favourite. For four days, the Flemish Cultural Centre de Brakke Grond will be bubbling, bubbling and seething with art that stretches our perception.

From an architectural bouncy castle and a tripping workshop to live concerts, intriguing city walks and intimate encounters: the works appeal to all the senses, cannot be pinned down to one genre or discipline and are always created on the spot. The entire building (and surroundings) are used for this voyage of discovery, including the broom cupboard.

When you observe not only with your eyes but with your entire body, a performer, object or space – just like the world – turns out to have unsuspected sides and dimensions. Best tip? Immerse yourself in the (sensitive) freedom that curious artists from Flanders and the Netherlands have taken and enjoy.
