"Blindsight", a solo show by Manon de Boer.
Zapowiedź: napisana przed otwarciem wystawy
The voices in this room come out of vases. Each vase hides a speaker, and each speaker belongs to one of the "ghosts": Chantal Akerman, Anne Carson, Marguerite Duras and Beyoncé among them.
The installation is called Blindsight, and Manon de Boer made it with choreographer Latifa Laâbissi and sound designer Laszlo Umbreit. You sit in cinema chairs with nothing on a screen and listen to the artists and writers who inspired the three of them. It closes a trilogy that began in 2022 with the performance Ghost Party 1 and the film Ghost Party 2.
It is in Room 7. A standard ticket is €18, €9 for 19 to 26s, and free with museumPASSmusées or a Brussels Card. Hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, Thursdays until 20:00.
The speaking vases
Look around the room for the vases: each hides a speaker tied to one ghost, so voices come from different corners.
The cinema chairs
You listen from cinema seats, a film set-up with sound in place of a picture.
Under-12s go free and 13 to 18s pay €2.50.
