Les châteaux de mes tantes is an interactive installation that aims to create a memory box of women from Tunisian, Algerian and Moroccan immigrant families.

Over 3 days at Espace Magh, we danced, ate, chatted, laughed and cried.

The discussions that animated and punctuated these days of exchange between women gave rise to the creation of an installation (an interactive object, conceived as a Maghrebian jukebox). The installation has been integrated into a convivial tea room setting, where you can listen to the testimonies, comfortably seated on cushions surrounded by photos and videos of the womens, produced by Pauline Vanden Neste.

Come see or revisit the show Parti en Fumée, which resumes its tour starting in September!

Using puppetry and mask techniques, Othmane Moumen shares the stage with his father, Mohammadine Moumen. Diagnosed with terminal lung cancer 7 years ago, Mohammadine clings to life. Seizing this unexpected reprieve, Othmane shares his quest for answers regarding his Moroccan father who immigrated to Belgium and the mysteries he represents. Hurry, before he vanishes for good…

Accessible from age 14.

ℹ️ More information about the tour

Jasmina Douieb will set up the Post Mortem Booth for public access in the hall of the Ixelles Library from October 1st to November 4th.

In this installation, you can sit, reflect, listen to a selection of interviews about grief, and write a letter to your deceased loved ones on seed paper, which you can then place in the designated mailbox.

Alongside this installation, the Ixelles Library will offer a variety of related activities.

To close this event, a burial ceremony for these letters will be organized in the Viaduc Park, allowing them to sprout and bloom once spring arrives. More information to come!
