FRAP! strikes again around Gare du Midi

For the second year in a row, the FRAP! neighbourhood project is staging festive performances off the beaten track. Mobile, unamplified and defying all conventions, this collective of musicians and dancers takes to the streets and engages directly with passers-by. A first performance took place in March at Espace Magh. On 19 June, they will resurface in Anderlecht, at Avant Senne, then in the Marolles for the Fête des Voisins Les Tanneurs.

Fête des Voisins & L’Avant-Senne 19/06

On 19 June, our collective dedicated to rhythm and movement will literally encircle Gare du Midi. At 12:30 you’ll find them at the Avant Senne socio-cultural regenerative garden on Rue des Vétérinaires in Anderlecht. Afterwards, they will make their way through the neighbourhood towards the lower Marolles for the Fête des Voisins Les Tanneurs, where, from 17:30, they will take over the area from Rue des Fleuristes to Rue du Chevreuil with dance and music. Learn more

The project, led by musician Sara Moonen and choreographer Ilaria Orlandini, closed ‘Rêver debout’, one of the themes of Les Variétés’ nomad program. After the final performance, the collective led the audience outside in a whirlwind of sound and improvisation. Learn more
