A story of connectedness by 50 dancing Brusselers and 10 MetX musicians.
The performance Few Days Before Tomorrow, which will premiere at MolenFest 2025, is the result of a participatory process that started at the beginning of this year. Artists, organisations and Molenbeek residents work together in a series of meetings, workshops and rehearsals, culminating in the creation of group choreographies. The project is rooted in Coulibaly's social engagement and deeply human approach, and in different visions of the city, the energies that flow through it, and the dreams of the future that emerge.

Serge Aimé Coulibaly set up similar projects in Ostend, Tunis and Ouagadougou. The adventure in Brussels and Molenbeek brings together 50 participants, nine dancers from Faso Danse Théâtre, and MetX’s orchestra. An "impressive presence in the shared space of the city", where questions about territory, connection, collaboration, generations, communities, power relations and legitimacy bubble up to the surface.

Co-presented by Kanal, Maison des Cultures et de la Cohésion Sociale de Molenbeek, Molenbeek for Brussels 2030 and Charleroi danse.
