Festival Balkan Trafik! @ BOZAR
On Thursday 23 April Balkan Trafik! 2015 begins conjointly with the Brussels Short Film Festival. As part of their joint opening, the Brussels Short Film Festival and Balkan Trafik! will celebrate the Balkans in cinema, dance and music. From Greece to Bosnia by way of Serbia and Albania, the audience will be treated to a cinema genre which is both subtle and humorous, touching on the absurd or gently satirical. The projection will open with music from Odessalavie and will close with the rembetiko project of the Greek choreographer Fanouris Trikilis. He and his dance troupe embody the popular urban music from Greece known as rebetika. Finally, a festive cocktail is the perfect end to the evening.
On Friday 24 April, “An evening with Goran Bregović” will focus on one of the greatest contemporary composers. Festival goers get to seek out the source of his creativity by attending a variety of different concerts: the group Divanhana from Sarajevo which presents sevdah; the Nathan Daems Karsilama Quintet, which recaptures the virtuoso style of gypsy music in its compositions; Bulgarian song, with the soloist of Bulgaria’s national troupe, Botevgrad. The audience is invited to dance along to the crazy rhythms of Goran Bregović’s Serbian brass band. At the end of the evening the band will carry on playing in the festival corridors. Following this musical journey through the master’s creative universe, the highlight of the evening will be the concert given by Goran Bregović and his orchestra. He will perform old favourites but also some new compositions. It promises to be a unique evening’s entertainment which goes far beyond the confines of a "simple concert".
The Brussels Short Film Festival has selected a series of films from South East Europe and its surroundings for the final day of Balkan Trafik! (Sunday 26.04.2015), the theme of which will be cinema and partying. Afterwards you can dance the night away to the music of the Lunxhëria ensemble.
