On February 2, Madam Fortuna welcomed renowned author Fikry El Azzouzi for an inspiring writing session in the context of an ambitious opera project. This session was part of a series of accessible writing and music workshops, set up by the Ostend socio-artistic organization kleinVerhaal in collaboration with partners from all over Flanders.
During the workshop, participants were given the opportunity to put their thoughts about the future on paper and get creative, regardless of experience. Under the guidance of El Azzouzi, stories and texts were created that may form the basis for a large-scale opera, which will premiere in 2027.
In addition to Madam Fortuna, organizations such as Victoria Deluxe, De Vieze Gasten, Rataplan, WitH, Unie Der Zorgelozen and De Figuranten also contributed to this unique project.
The writing session on February 2nd was not only a moment of inspiration and collaboration, but also a step towards a grand artistic end result that Flanders will see in 2027. Stay Tuned!
