Pre-meeting trip to Esch-sur-Alzette

Meeting Point: Luxembourg Station - Bus stop Gare-Rocade Quai 6

Meeting Point: Luxembourg Station - Bus stop Gare-Rocade Quai 6

Address: Rocade de Bonnevoie | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant arts and culture scene of Luxembourg! 

Before the IETM Focus Luxembourg Meeting, join us on Monday 27 November for an afternoon of networking and cultural exploration.

This pre-meeting trip to the former 2022 European Capital of Culture, Esch-sur-Alzette, offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the local context from the perspective of performing arts and green transition.

Originally known for metallurgy and mining, the city has reinvented itself and is now home to more than 120 nationalities and plenty of ecological initiatives, which you can learn more about from Céline Schall, a researcher in cultural sciences.

Discover the city through the voices of its inhabitants thanks to the site-specific work of the Ampersand Variation collective. Visit one of the historical cultural centres of the region at Kulturfabrik, where you will attend a performance by Eddi van Tsui before eating a local organic meal at MESA, the House of Transition.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to connect with peers and engage in meaningful exchanges with local cultural actors. Kick off the IETM Focus Luxembourg Meeting by immersing yourself in the local culture. We can't wait to see you there!

A vegetarian dinner will be covered by the organiser.

Schedule:

14:00 Meeting at Luxembourg Station - Bus stop Gare-Rocade Quai 6
14:30 Introduction to local cultural and environmental policies by Céline Schall at Facilitec
15:15 Walkshop through Esch, diving into the development of a work with the local communities, led by Alisa Oleva and Claire Thill
16:30 Visit of the KulturFabrik, an historical grass root cultural centre
17:30

The almost eternal life of an inflatable balloon 

 

This performance by the company Eddi van Tsui slips into the mind of Charlie, who suffers from eco-anxiety. The piece displays a powerful confrontation with his character - the symbol of a generation which does not see a possible future - and its fragile solitude in the face of the world. The almost eternal life of an inflatable balloon is a solitary ballad translated by body and sound.

18:00 Drink at KulturFabrik
18:30 Walk to MESA - House of the transition
19:30 Introduction to Transition Minett and dinner at MESA
21:00 Shuttle bus to the hotels and late night meeting point

Price
Free of charge, including dinner

Registrations for this pre-meeting trip have now closed.
