Musical fireworks against Amyloidosis - Echo for hope. AmyBel, the Belgian patient association for amyloidosis, warmly invites you to a special benefit concert dedicated to hope, support and community. They write: ‘Amyloidosis is a rare disease in which misfolded proteins accumulate in organs, disrupting their function. Because diagnosis often comes late and the consequences can be severe, AmyBel works to improve awareness, treatment, and especially support for patients and their loved ones. We are honored to welcome the world-renowned Philharmonisches Streichquintett Berlin for this evening – a rare opportunity to experience this celebrated ensemble in an intimate and historic setting. All proceeds from the concert will go toward scientific research and psychosocial support for people living with amyloidosis. Let’s raise a powerful voice together for hope and solidarity. Be moved by the music, support our community, and share in the warmth of people coming together to make a difference. ’ Tickets: €35. 26 Oct, 16:00.

Inspired by the life and work of South African singer, activist and exile Miriam Makeba, KVS-maker Alesandra Seutin created a powerful performance about migration, exile and human rights. Through text, song, dance and music - and with a starring role for jazz singer Tutu Puoane - she takes you to the hidden corners of a deconstructed shebeen, an illegal bar or meeting place in South Africa during the apartheid era.
Where do you get the strength to hold your head high when you are exiled from your motherland, separated from your mother, people and roots? How do you survive - even thrive - so far away from everything and everyone you know? Free introduction by Gerardo Salinas at 7.15pm in the foyer. 28 Oct, 20:00. Tickets: €11,00-22,00. Stadsschouwburg, Vlamingstraat 29.
