Take a first look at the Zinneke Parade, taking place on the 1st of June. Zinneke Parade are inviting eight organisations from outside Brussels and Belgium for an international Zinnode. Together with participants from Paris, Edinburgh, Prague, Roztoky, Rotterdam, Tilburg, Leuven and La Louvière, they will form the collective BRZ’NKO ŠTROÏ. A motley crew of soundmakers from the four corners of Europe.
Oi Musica, Velvet Carnival, Masopust Parade, ICAF Rotterdam, EELT Collectief, La Fabrique des Impossibles, MJ Indigo and De Batterij. Driven by Jo Zanders and Vital Schraenen, this international group of community arts organisations joins forces to form BRZ’NKO ŠTROÏ. Wearing colourful masks and dancing cheerfully, they combine drums, fuzzy gamelan instruments, trumpet blasts, all sorts of clashing objects and other schmilblixes… Lost and found in translation, they celebrate their unity, despite waves of corona, wars, Brexits and other crises.
