Event
Information:
This
event takes place In the night
from Saturday 2 to Sunday 3 October
2010 in the centre of Brussels.
Nuit Blanche is a night (7 pm - 4
am) where people can come together,
a night where unusual and
contemporary creativity come
together in a pleasant and festive
atmosphere. Nuit Blanche will
moreover be part of the Belgian
presidency of the EU. This year, the
route includes the Rue Antoine
Dansaert (pedestrian) as far as the
rue Léon Lepage and then along
various Quais: à la Chaux, au Foin,
au Bois à Brûler, aux Pierres de
Taille, du Commerce,… to the place
Sainctelette. For the first time,
themed evenings will be held in the
National Theatre (Boulevard Jacqmain),
in Le Fuse (Place du Jeu de Balle)
and at Madame Moustache (Vismet).
Nuit
Blanche (literally White Night, All-Nighter
or Sleepless Night in French) or
Light Night is an annual all-night
or night-time arts festival. Its
exact beginning is disputed between
Paris, St Petersburg, and Berlin,
but, taking elements from all of
these, the idea of a night-time
festival of the arts has spread
around the world since 1997, taking
hold from Toronto to Tel Aviv and
Lima to Leeds. A Nuit Blanche will
typically have museums, private and
public art galleries, and other
cultural institutions open and free
of charge, with the centre of the
city itself being turned into a de
facto art gallery, providing space
for art installations, performances
(music, film, dance, performance
art), themed social gatherings, and
other activities
