Les Halles de Scharbeek

There is no creative idea that would not fit in Les Halles: its unique dimensions make it the perfect space to reinvent performance and find unique ways to break the fourth wall. Les Halles is a space open to everyone: we are all about participation and outreach. Sometimes egoist, sometimes collective, just like the world we live in. We are open to the hopes and changes faced the people who make Les Halles : from our neighbours to those coming from far away land. We are showing the best work coming from all over Europe, looking for answers to the big questions of our times. We explore new passions, adventures, and freedom. Dance, circus, cross-art forms… Explore, experience and have fun! We also host other types of activities: between 3 days and 3 weeks long, these special events gather professionals, students and amateurs. We combine academic thinking and emerging practices: reflexion and direct application. These events are unlike anything you would have seen before: Foire-Attraction, CIA Fair, the Astronautics & Leisure Fair, Assemblée d'Avril or Bruxelles-Africapitales. Last but not least, Les Halles work with emerging Belgian and European artists to support their development. We are executive producers for some of the best companies from Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and also co-producing with other partners the best of tomorrow's performances from Belgium and Europe.
