It's a ball : you are invited to dance.

Walz, techno, jitter, reggaeton, ballet : no matter if you have the proper codes or not, you can dance just as you please and when you please. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, you are always welcome.

It is a village party. We are mixing together without the usual divisions or distinctions. We all become part of the living picture, of the atmosphere, of the shared moment.

As if in a cabaret, unannouced artists step in during one music and share their inner world - sometimes playful, poetic, or moving - in unlikely forms, without taking center stage (you can keep on dancing, daydreaming, drinking or going out for a smoke). Then they go back to dancing amongst everyone else.

The Bal-Surprise is led by our resident DJ Marieke Sergent, the other artists of Das Kollektiv Mahu (musicians, choreographers, dramatists, dancers, comedians, cabaret artists, performers), occasional guests... and you.

The entire ball becomes the object of contemplation, the unexpectable, co-constructed art work where a poetic experience is possible. You never know when, where and whom from a good surprise or the best moment of the evening migght come, even from you or your neighbour ! So let ourselves be surprised !

We go back home with even more unique memories because we contributed to them, with images that keep working inside, with new associations of musics, ideas, people.

A moment of sharing, meant to feel good, to have fun, to be surprised and amazed and to open new possibilities.
