throwing tomatoes at the green screen - the puppet show
maru uses puppet theater and small-scale performance as a medium of resistance, weaving together found footage of various political speeches in front of a green screen setup—a backdrop reminiscent of a weather studio. with carnivalesque absurdity and bridging traditional storytelling with new visual and generative technologies, the project exposes the cryptomnesia of media and politics, revealing how the same narratives are endlessly recycled— especially those that justify war as a means of securing peace. a central reference for the project is cipollino, the famous children's story by Italian writer gianni rodari. originally conceived as a playful yet profound reinterpretation of marxist ideas, cipollino tells the story of a rebellious onion who leads a proletarian uprising of vegetables against an oppressive regime of aristocratic fruits. this satirical fable resonates with themes of class struggle, tyranny, and collective resistance, which remain strikingly relevant today. by drawing on this allegory, the artist adopts cipollino's identity to explore contemporary political discourse, questioning the ways in which power structures manipulate narratives to maintain control.
18:30 - arthur chambry
arthur chambry lives and works in his basement studio in brussels.
there, he plays music, tinkers with instruments, writes stories and songs, dances and gesticulates.
when he emerges from his hole, it is to find large spaces whose acoustics carry his sounds, his lyrics and his voice. alone, in pairs (sans âge, zanc) or in groups, in cellars, churches and old hangars, he busies himself making history with a complex orchestration of old clogs, inflators, pvc flutes, chimes and other odds and ends.
trace the history of ‘la seuz’ on his latest vinyl released on the brussels label futura resistenza in may 2023.

19:30 - ludu du
ludu du (black ashes / fertiliser in breton) is a traditional breton music duo founded in 2020 and composed of anna duval guennoc on vocals and ivan martin on percussion and homemade instruments.
ludu du performs a minimalist interpretation of a traditional repertoire (often reworked or embellished with compositions) from southern brittany. they play acoustically, in a raw style. combining movement and dance with music, they like to resonate with the landscapes that surround them.
20:30 - la tène
la tène is a seven-headed animal from which a single energy emanates. if you hear the resonance of traditional music, saturated repetition, ethereal harmonics or an imagined dance... It is because they coexist in la tène's music as a single thread torn from its roots. the franco-swiss group produces music in which each influence, however profound, is broken down into motifs that become themes. It is not a question of breaking the patterns, but of bringing them to life, carved in stone like fragments to be reconstructed.
there is no starting line or finish line, no usual verses, these are lost from the first shocks the body receives... We find obstacles erected like statues, familiar strangers, snippets heard elsewhere, or multiplied angles, and as many repeated gestures. la tène’s long, hypnotic, wordless pieces are built from traditional instrumentation, wild percussion and blurred, subtle electronic embellishments, and feel as ancient and earthy as those millennia-old artefacts – with all the metal, wood, dedication and craftsmanship they entailed.
