Conversation With A Stranger is an artistic adventure in human experience. It involves over thirty participants - artists and non-professional - with multidisciplinary art forms, from encounters to lectures and performances.
Conversation With A Stranger will take place on 11, 12 and 13 October 2013 at Le Berger Hotel and Laboratory of Contemporary Arts Nadine in the neighborhood of Porte de Namur in Brussels.
But what will happen to you?
During the weekend opening, you are prompted to enter alone the hotel, as if you are entering a film set. Artists and their accomplices (hotel employees, neighbors, regular customers) are part of the experience. At the reception, you are handed a random key that opens a door to a strange and unexpected encounter. A multiplicity of plots and the parade of characters - they mingle and blur the lines between reality and fiction.
In Room 106, a hotel employee is asleep but his face appears on the TV screen. After visiting a strange art installation in Room Blanche, a woman invites you to sit down and predicts for you an unexpected future. An old gentleman in an armchair in the bar of the note tells fairy stories of the hotel, once a 'maison de rendez-vous' in the past. Meantime, the parking office receives complaints of unfulfilled visitors.
In these chance meetings, you become a witness to a particular story. Each person is a different fragment; after your visit, you are asked to share the story of your experience in an attempt to reconstruct the whole story.
