"La première fois", a solo show by Joëlle Tuerlinckx in KANAL's Lower Room.
Altro a Bruxelles
Anteprima: scritta prima dell'apertura della mostra
For several years Joëlle Tuerlinckx watched Kanal being built: groundwater pumped into the canal, walls going up, hammers on site. For the opening she picked the deepest space in the building, the Lower Room in the foundations, and left it empty.
What fills it is light and sound. Two lighting systems take turns, one plain museum light, one theatrical, and now and then they overlap like a solar eclipse. You stand in the dark while alarms, building-site noise and Tuerlinckx's own texts, read by different voices in several languages, cut through the silence, with running water under it all for the old Brussels marshes. The soundtrack, made with Christoph Fink, talks to you directly. Announcements in several languages that you're actually meant to listen to: a first for anyone who commutes through Brussels-Midi.
It is a standard ticket at €18, €9 for 19 to 26s, free with museumPASSmusées or a Brussels Card. Kanal rates it noise level 3, up to 100 decibels.
Da non perdere
The eclipse moments
Look for when the plain museum light and the theatrical one overlap, which Kanal likens to a solar eclipse.
The voice that addresses you
The soundtrack speaks straight to the visitor: "That's where I'll take you, Visitor."
The sound of water
Under the voices and alarms runs water, a nod to the Brussels marshes and the canal next door.
