Art lab Madam Fortuna
For 10 weeks, in the period October-December 2015, 10 young people from 't Kiel came together on Wednesday afternoons to make intercultural music.
Musical and theatrical summer internship with young people from Belgium and Macedonia. A first European intercultural exchange project of young aspiring artists (16-30 years) in which collaboration with the Roma Community is central.
Music project with singing between the cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels that starts from an intercultural artistic encounter with special attention to the encounter with the Roma community. Teaching and sharing traditional Roma music from Slovakia, Balkans and Romania.
Wannes Van de Velde sang in 1972: “I want to get lost in the streets this night. The sound of the city makes my soul amorous.”
43 years later. Our city has undergone a metamorphosis. Madam Fortuna wonders what the city sounds like today.
Lotte Heijtenis, Kikè Noviello, Peter Holvoet-Hanssen, Tinus Holthuis and Luk Nys led a diverse group of enthusiasts through the city. They were absorbed in its sounds, listened to the stories of its residents, formed a dam for the urban flow of poetry, theater, film and music. The result is musical theater that expresses the city at its most vibrant.
