‘Bozar All Over the P(a)lace - Nocturne Akerman’

The last Bozar All Over the Palace of the season brings together a number of multidisciplinary artists whose work is in its own way reminiscent of Chantal Akerman's extraordinary oeuvre. For the occasion, Latifa Laâbissi creates an intimate performance directly inspired by the film Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce. Actress Circé Lethem gives voice to Akerman's lyrics in the exhibition's archive space, while CHLOE, a day before the official release, unveils her solo ambient album SloMo A/V; an immersive visual sound fresco. The young DJ Sapphist Eye, propelled by the label Lumière Noire founded by Chloé, closes the new edition of nocturnes at Bozar.

Chantal Akerman's career has left a visible impact on modern cinema. Similarly, composer, producer and DJ Chloé Thévenin - better known as CHLOE - has left a mark on underground electronic music. Today, you can safely call her a pioneer in counterculture. Reminiscent of Akerman's work, choreographer Latifa Laâbissi 's work is shaped by a need for transgression. For her, the stage is a turbulent space to express feelings and discontent.
