Beursschouwburg, an arts centre in the heart of Brussels, is looking to recruit a guide who can talk visitors through the exhibition during the next focus programme.
With the focus programme, we address a specific topic on the basis of performances, films, installations and throw in a good party here and there for good measure, and this for two months.
Between 7 February and 29 March 2014, the focus programme carries the title Politricks. A programme on power, propaganda, populism & patriotism, and we try to say something about politics, power, media manipulation, the power of the image, keeping the upcoming elections of May 2014 in mind.
