Discover this prickly plant inspired by the echinocactus at the bottom of Mont des Arts, which unfurls its sparkling foliage 11 meters high, like a firework suspended in mid-flight. This giant luminaire evokes a dreamlike, disjointed tree whose luminous fruits sway in the wind, creating a moving scenography.
The majestic Christmas tree on the Grand-Place, an undeniable symbol of Winter Wonders, is at the centre of a dazzling sound and light show.
It will be cut down on the morning of Wednesday 20 November and erected from 6 a.m. on Thursday 21 November, ready to embody the spirit of the festive season.
The tree will be brought to life for the first time on Friday 29 November, with an inauguration ceremony starting at 6pm.
This year, the tree is lit with a unique touch of solidarity, thanks to an extraordinary partnership with Make-A-Wish, the charity that makes the dreams of children with serious illnesses come true.
The tree will be adorned with elephants, reminiscent of the Côte d’Or brand, which supports this charity event. Some of these decorations, signed by Belgian celebrities, will then be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish to help grant the wishes of children with serious illnesses.
The sound and light show on the Grand-Place, which is renewed every year to transport visitors to another universe, is the creation of Camille Gross and Olivier Magermans.
“Echoes of Colors” is a five-minute video mapping show projected onto the tower of the City Hall, in an intense celebration of colour.
In this dreamlike universe, colours are central to the experience, transforming the tower into a playground, challenging and reinventing its structure.
Bathed in vibrant hues, the building seems at times to float, shatter into glass or reveal a skeleton illuminated by phosphorescent vegetation.
The projection ends with an explosion of infinite colours that emphasise the verticality of the tower, all accompanied by a synchronised soundtrack to complete the experience.
