For a night of celebration
27 June – Xenakis’ Persephassa & Lander Gyselinck’s HiHats in Trees
The Henry Le Bœuf Hall transforms for one special evening where rhythm knows no bounds.

Then, witness the world premiere of HiHats in Trees, where Lander Gyselinck blends percussion, electronic and jazz into a unique live experience.

Conceived by Sammy Baloji, the evening echoes the 65th anniversary of Congo’s independence, exploring the link between Victor Horta’s architecture and colonial history.
