Bridge Stories
Bridge Stories storytelling performance by @cinemaximiliaan during Brussels 2030 summer assembly at @halles.be has been a great opportunity to tell stories from our neighbors who occupied the Bridge in front of Petit Chateau in early 2023 and show it on stage as part of Brussels candidacy program to be the cultural capital of Europe in 2030.
We told honest, truthful stories that were the result of several workshops and many layers of changes and modifications. The text was initially written through a collaborative workshop with our neighbors and friends of Cinemaximiliaan at Passa Porta.
Bridge Stories started as a collaboration between Cinemaximiliaan and Passa Porta and was performed at Passaporta Festival (Mar. 23'), KU Leuven (Apr. 23') and in Molenbeek (Mayc 23') and was performed during summer assembly of Brussels2030 at Les Halles Schaarbeek on the 1st of July at 14u.
