Across and for the 19 communes of Brussels, a flotilla of 5 riders on electric scooters wearing light-suits will illuminate our nights this month.

From 15 to 20 December, the scooters will magically roam the streets of Brussels.
On the 21st of December, we will celebrate the winter solstice with a festive walk punctuated by surprises that will link La Bellone to Marché des Abattoirs.
« During the darkest days of the year when the coldest wind is sneaking through your clothing and the humidity is conquering territory until it reaches your bones, and the grey rain is invading your gloves…
During those days the city normally builds up to a spectacular light show, that together with glühwein and strange sausages creates an alienating epicenter of togetherness.
What also appears is an immense shadowland where already forgotten streets seem to disappear into depressive darkness.
In that shadowland we will float sublimely and silent. And leave undefined traces up to each of you to decodify.»
The winter solstice marks a major turning point: the longest night of the year. Literally and figuratively, the winter solstice exalts the triumph of light over darkness, the hope of a better year and better times; it’s the return of the victorious Sun. Let's start the countdown to this transition together.
A gesture of pure enchantment that is both funny and phantasmagorical, a humble and absurd performance that conveys good mood and empathy.
This winter, Micha Goldberg offers you a gift: light and hospitality, the great invariants of the last festivities of the season, be they religious or pagan.
This mobile light poem is a festive surprise for Brussels’ inhabitants, passers-by, children, young and old. It is also a caress and a provocation, a poetic diversion from a period of materialistic overconsumption. It is an artful intervention in the city, one that plays with the urban environment and recreates mysticism.
Despite the difficulties of the present times, a shared memory and a secret hope become a public message: poetry and humour will win.
See you at the start of the flotilla, which will leave each day in a new direction.
Perhaps you will see this fleet on the corner of your street...
Each day, the scooters will set off in a different direction to radiate through the 19 communes of Brussels.
We invite you to meet them before their departure, at 4.45 pm in front of La Bellone. Come and warm up with a comforting drink and form a guard of honour for the riders' departure!
