[EN] A cloud of apples floats into the belly of Brussels upon a fantastical wooden boat named Porté par ta Voix/Gedragen door je stem/Carried by Your Voice. Arriving from Pajottenland these apples are carried by the voices of farmers, beekeepers, woodcutters, horses, tillers, brewers and strange weather.
A Movement of Apples invokes a chain of people to move this cloud of apples in a hand-to-hand network from K1 to Groot Eiland. This is a call to action to Brussels’ inhabitants, Co-ops, Good Food Brussels, Good Move Regional Mobility Plan and policy makers to set in motion a reconnection to food systems that respect humans and other species, regenerate biodiversity and a just economy.
Porté par ta Voix/Gedragen door je stem/Carried by Your Voice’s maiden presence upon the canal will be officiated by a small-solar powered vessel named Buratinas and the, musicians’ Francesca Chiacchio and Mott Flyf with Médiatheque Nghe.

Francesca Chiacchio & Mott Flyf – Blue – Berry
Since 2017, Francesca Chiacchio and Mott Flyf have been developing a project entitled MANTRA POP SONGS, which brings together 3 pieces including Bleu-Berry. Their universe lies somewhere between performance and pop show. It plays on the repetitive side of pop music by integrating a didactic aspect in the form of visual karaoke. Each time, the audience is invited to take hold of the piece in one way or another.
Médiatheque Nghe & Buratinas
Buratinas is a small solar-powered boat that functions as a short-term residency space for artists. For A Movement of Apples, the boat will be occupied by the Médiatheque Nghe, which will broadcast music from its collection along the canal via a handheld gramophone, which operates without electricity.
