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

The November nocturne is marked by the installation of the “Pavilion des Amours aka PAV.LOV.” by Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, turning Bozar into a haven of sweetness that celebrates love.

Performances
In the middle of the Hall Horta, itself the epicenter of the palace, this pavilion acts as a beating heart of emotions. Around it will gravitate a multitude of bodies and voices: drag-queer artist Lylybeth Merle brings together a slam poet, pole dancer, and drag queen to create a poetic fresco that makes love a vector of freedoms.

Films
Room 23, the new cinema space at Bozar, will screen three short films by Alba Cros Pellisé, Jay Rosenblatt, and Béatrice Gibson, in dialogue with Alice Diop's medium-length film, Towards Tenderness; and Raffaella Crispino revives the performance-installation Circles of Songs, which brought together the voices of visitors to Bozar in 2022.

Music
Culminating in music with Emergency Loop DJ (Holy Coco & Donchar), this nocturne invites us to drift together, to wander, to weave sensitive connections, and to (self) love. ​​​​​​​

Exhibitions
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The exhibition Love is Louder offers guided tours in several languages and remains open throughout the nocturne, as does the video game space Bozar Arcade: Love and Emotions in Video Games and Monira Al Qadiri. The Archaeology of Beasts.
