‘Bozar All Over the P(a)lace - Nocturne Surrealism’

In March, the nocturne Bozar All Over the Palace is dedicated to surrealism. The evening is inspired by the musical buzz of the surrealist era, especially in Belgium. Once again, the corridors and halls of the palace will be filled with an intertwining of art. We embark on a musical tour together with the four guitarists of the Four Aces Guitar Quartet while the members of Quatuor Tana and Brussels based DJ Lucimille will further tickle your sonorous delight. The exhibition Histoire de ne pas rire is also in line with the screenings of films by Karen Vanderborght and Joëlle Tuerlinckx, whose own cinematic language takes viewers along surreal detours.
