For a few evenings, this jewel of Brussels’ heritage will host an extraordinary event. With “Heritage in Motion,” the ABIS Company takes over the building’s most prestigious rooms—from the Gothic Hall to the Mayor’s Office—for a dance-based tour that pays homage to the UNESCO-listed heritage site. A completely new way to (re)discover this iconic monument of the capital.

A tour like no other
Forget the traditional guided tour: here, you’re immersed in the history of the place by four characters who guide the audience from room to room. Between each stop along the route, the stage is set for a show—artists from the ABIS Company slip into the majestic settings of City Hall for dance performances that highlight the architecture and tell the building’s story in a new light. An immersive, poetic, and decidedly different experience to (re)discover a place we think we know so well.

What Awaits Visitors
