Bal Brut | opening Kanal 2026

TAKE PART IN CREATING BAL BRUT!
A huge celebration where everyone dances, creates and brings the dance floor to life.

Organised to mark the opening of Kanal-Centre Pompidou in Brussels, Bal Brut is much more than a performance: it’s a large-scale, immersive and collective celebration. A vibrant space where people come together, where the boundary between stage and audience disappears, and where everyone becomes an active part of the experience.
In the lead-up to the big evenings on 5 and 6 December, the Bal Brut workspace opens its doors wide to invite you to co-create this unique event. Come as you are!

Two ways to be part of the adventure:
- Open Week: A free space to bring your stage dreams to life. Whether you have a wild, personal, ambitious, unconventional or completely absurd idea, on your own or as part of a group: bring your ideas and wishes. Together, we will nurture, shape and celebrate everyone's authentic creativity, transforming it into short performances on the dance floor.

- Dance Workshops: Every evening, discover and reinvent a different dance technique guided by a guest artist. A space for shared experimentation where children, adults, amateurs, professionals, people with disabilities and people from all walks of life dance side by side and explore new ways of moving together.

Whether you join us for an hour, a day or the entire week, it's your presence that makes the party!
