Every year our capital city is the scene of the unique gathering of national and international experimental poets under (and on) the dome of the Planetarium: the Brussels Planetarium Poetry Fest (BPPF).
Tickets for this years edition are now available via the button below:
28 November 2024
On Thursday 28 November, the Brussels Planetarium will transform into a magical poetry arena from 7.30pm. Under the dome’s twinkling starry sky, you will have the chance to send your words into space. Whether you are an experienced poet, a spoken word artist, or have always wanted to share your talent: this is your moment! Sign up for the Open Mic at the door at 7pm and maybe you will become one of the ‘Brussels stars’ shining under the unique backdrop of star projections and live drawings.
Would you rather enjoy the creativity of others? Then come as a visitor and experience an evening of inspiring performances by local and international talent. The evening promises to be a unique fusion of poetry, art and astronomy, with live drawings accompanying all the poems for the first time this year, provided by students from MaxLab. You won’t want to miss this!
29 & 30 November 2024
This tenth edition of the Brussels Planetarium Poetry Fest marks the climax of a European translation of our project to Planetaria in Tartu, Vienna and A Coruna (UTM). The resulting diverse, beautiful, creative works will be presented on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 November 2024 at the Planetarium in Brussels. Expect an evening of international poets, each assisted by a projection created by a team of 3-5 artists. Work ranging from classic typography and analogue film recordings to AI image generation and gaming design: we have it all in this edition.
