Invocations / Evocations
The Trouble performance festival turns twenty and expands its partnerships across the city for its thirteenth edition. Since the festival’s creation at Les Halles de Schaerbeek in 2005, much has changed in the world of performance—once marginalized, it is now well-established in Brussels. Trouble 2025 aims to broaden its scope, particularly by breaking free from Western aesthetics and embracing peripheral perspectives from artists in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Mexico. As a central theme: invocations, evocations, magical or even shamanic gestures, political actions in public spaces, and dialogues with the invisible. Performance as clairvoyance?
