Music until dawn

What exactly happens when time stretches? During midsummer night, granvat takes you on a journey of sound, from sunset to sunrise. This while you lie stretched out on mats and pillows dreaming away. In the morning you can reminisce in the foyer with a delicious breakfast.

This edition curated by Elisabeth Klinck

In a world that’s moving ever faster, the message is to slow down. For this seventh edition, Brussels violinist Elisabeth Klinck has been given carte blanche, which she’ll be putting into practice alongside a number of musician friends.

Come and lie back, bring your own cushion and mat, and experience the magical feeling of spending the night, drifting along with a world of sounds.

Sounds like

In Elisabeth’s work, slowing down is central; the pace is slowed to the point where there is no longer any before or after, only the present. It is slowed until the moment the body unfurls its antennae.

Not just to listen with the ears, but with the skin, the toes, the eyes, the belly. Until the moment a flood of memories overwhelms you and sleep takes over. That moment, the twilight zone between consciousness and unconsciousness, between wakefulness and sleep, between active and passive, has fascinated Elisabeth since childhood.

The moment when you think you are awake, but reality and illusions begin to float together. Inspired by this moment, Elisabeth, accompanied by her father—a violinist—and musician friends, will weave the soundtrack for your dreams, where the rustling of the pillows and the sound of breathing become part of the melodies.

Think of soft strings, whispers, long notes, and intoxicating, drawn-out melodies.
