PERFORMISSIMA : Fulfilling Your Expectations by Christian Falsnæs

PERFORMISSIMA - INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF MOVING ARTS

Performissima is a celebration of unruly forms, a call to total experience, to kinesthetic, visual, and sound extravagance.

The Wallonia-Brussels Center/Paris, also known as the Vessel, presents the 2nd edition of PERFORMISSIMA, an international performing arts festival, which will take place on Friday, October 24, 2025, from noon to midnight, both In-Situ & Off-Site.

Prototype and deliberately undisciplined, PERFORMISSIMA asserts itself as an invitation to collective experience and stands out by its structure and its non-alignment with standardized temporalities.

Co-produced with a network of international and cultural institutions based in Paris, PERFORMISSIMA sketches a contemporary transnational map of the plural regimes of performativity. Alongside about thirty artists based in Brussels and Wallonia, another thirty international artists from 24 countries come together to explore new forms, ways of saying, doing, and acting differently.

The House of Denmark – Le Bicolore presents Danish artists Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen and Christian Falsnæs à Performissima.
