Скачать или смотреть EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS 2022 | Aftermovie | 'La Flèche et l’Éléphant'

'La Flèche and L'Éléphant' paid homage to the first passenger train ride on the European continent. That pioneering journey took place in Belgium, on 5 May 1835, between Brussels and Mechelen. 'La Flèche et l'Éléphant' was a one-time event developed for EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS by EUROPALIA Arts Festival and Ictus Ensemble. In Brussels, the audience stepped aboard a special train to the SNCB Central Workshop in Mechelen, a huge industrial site, where trains and their components are converted and repaired, which opened its doors especially for this occasion. Visitors were invited on an artistic journey with numerous special musical and (audio-)visual performances by contemporary artists who interpreted the sounds and images of the train in a unique way.

Step on board for EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS, from 14 October 2021 to 15 May 2022! This year, EUROPALIA dedicates an edition to the train, an invention that shaped society and appears to be playing a leading role again today. EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS presents a multidisciplinary programme of over 70 projects—mostly new creations and residencies—spread across artistic institutions but also, and especially, to be discovered in stations and aboard trains.

Every two years, EUROPALIA compiles a diverse artistic programme focusing on a country or a theme. For four months, in Belgium and its neighbouring countries, EUROPALIA, in collaboration with a wide network of cultural partners, presents a biennial with a myriad of artistic and socio-cultural projects that bring together visual arts, performing arts, film, music, literature and debate so as to stimulate an exchange of ideas. Newly commissioned projects and artistic residencies hold a central place in the programme that engenders a unique interaction between heritage and art.
