Dear summerbeurs people, IT'S (really) HAPPENING. We're fiiiiiiiiinally open again. That means rooftop! It's equipped to enjoy the sunshine and golden hours with your loved ones. What's more: Two performances. Luanda Casella brings her Killjoy Quiz to our venue for an evening of (un)privileged quizzing, and Quinsy Gario presents new work. Two exhibitions. Ève Chabanon and her non-producers will soon be joined by Amber Vanluffelen and the Belgian Cats (more or less). Music in beurscafé. A fluid twilight zone where you can enjoy DJ sets, drinks, music documentaries and (*heart beats faster*) live concerts. Yokaï, Laryssa Kim, Victor De Roo, Ignatz, Miaux and other artists (to be announced) are looking forward to seeing you again. If you need to catch your breath after this sultry homecoming: three new On the Go soundwalks await you and your walking shoes. Enjoy! Welcome back <3 Beursschouwburg

What People Say

On the building’s awning our name is spelt in various different ways: beurshowbrug, bourscaubirg, etc. Seven different spellings, but which is the ‘right’ one? Who was it who took it upon themselves to liberate Beursschouwburg from the shackles of official spelling? — What People Say, David Helbich (b. 1973), 2012, Facade signage, plexi glass & ferrite magnets

Dear letter readers, IT'S HAPPENING. Our neighbors' terraces have finally reopened! The most asked question (by far) remains: WHAT ABOUT THE BEURS ROOFTOP??? June 2. While you're warming up in the neighborhood, we'll be thinking and building and working to get the rooftop fresh and ready for a summer à la Beurs <3 So prepare to summer inside and on top of Beursschouwburg! Performances will be served in the gouden zaal, the expos (yes, plural) will run at summer time and we are about to start our first soundcheck on the ground floor... Meanwhile, you can already visit the first Are We There Yet? summer expo: Chapter 4: Sold by say-hi-to Ève Chabanon. Cheers! Your B.
