CANCELLED - Homo Urbanus

Dear audience,

Due to budget restrictions for 2026, which Les Brigittines was informed of at the end of 2025, we are forced to make certain cost-cutting decisions. In light of this, we regret to announce that we must cancel the film installation Homo Urbanus by Bêka & Lemoine, scheduled for 10–19 April.
 

In each room, a film unfolds, capturing the essence of a global city. The audience is free to wander from one room to another, from one film to another, from one city to another, without a destination or a compass, searching for those snippets of everyday life and moments in the present that make up life. From Rabat to Tokyo, via Venice, the audience is carried away by this rare and yet simple opportunity to witness our own urbanity.

Some will remain standing and travel quickly, while others will prefer to lie down comfortably and stay still for a longer period of time here or there. Each in our own way, we listen to the roar of the city and feel its movement. These unclassifiable films put urban life under a magnifying glass, encouraging us to take a close look at our individual and collective behaviour and the social tensions that play out every day on this great stage that is the street.

For a few days, while being sought after by the world's most important museums, Les Brigittines invites Louise Lemoine and Ila Bêka to present their cinematic odyssey for the very first time in a performing arts venue.
