A new artistic experience is about to light up Brussels: “Khalil Gibran: the immersive experience of love”, written by Massimiliano Siccardi and Luca Longobardi. From December 6, 2025 at Brussels Expo, visitors will be able to experience a luminous plunge into the world of the poet and painter who inspired John Lennon, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Steve Jobs and many other icons. If you’re looking for a poetic outing in Brussels, this could well be your new favorite. Tickets are now available.
360° immersion between art, light and spirituality
In this installation, visitors enter a calm, almost suspended space. Khalil Gibran’s paintings come to life in 360° projections, enveloping the room in vibrant colors, psychedelic visuals and inspiring quotations. Love, faith, freedom, the pursuit of happiness… all themes dear to K. Gibran come to life before your eyes.
The poet’s own words are not forgotten: the most touching poems are narrated in English (you can request French or Dutch translations from the leaflets handed out at the entrance). An intimate way to rediscover his voice, his breath, his universal messages.
Here, everything is designed for an introspective, soothing experience. In a gentle atmosphere conducive to contemplation, the public is invited to slow down, settle down and listen. A rare moment of art, spirituality and humanity, and an ideal interlude for those who want to disconnect and escape the stress of routine.
A truly unique experience
What makes this experience exceptional is the coexistence of paintings and poems by the same author, brought together in a single immersive work. And for Belgium, the story makes perfect sense: Gibran was deeply influenced by his intellectual relationship with the Flemish philosopher Maurice Maeterlinck. This influence has enriched the work of many famous and diverse personalities: John Lennon, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Steve Jobs. ..
