Big Bang Festival - Une ode festive à la musique et à l'art sonore aventureux
After the first successful edition in Luxembourg in July 2021, Big Bang festival is coming back to neimënster to transform the Abbey during a whole weekend into a musical labyrinth. Children 5 years and up can discover interactive shows, concerts and musical installations – not just as audience members but as active participants. Big Bang festival can be understood as an ode to adventurous sound art for the whole family, guaranteeing a fun day exploring, listening, gazing, experimenting, laughing and performing.
FOOD and DRINKS
roundABOUT Tsubasa
This magical circular box can accommodate a small audience, a soloist and literally surround them with video and sound. Japanese percussionist Tsubasa Hori steps into this magical arena. Her world is that of the Taiko drum, but she also plays a whole range of instruments. Accompanying herself on the Shamisen, she sings and tells stories.
Zonzo Company / 45 min
Madeleines in the galaxy
“Madeleines dans la Galaxie” is a journey into a world of brass and wind instruments. Trumpets, tubas and trombones recall a world of wonderful sounds through a particular tangle of pipes and tubes, which encircle the audience in a kind of sound igloo.
Spat’Sonore / 20 min
Ran San Ho
With RẠN SAN HÔ, in French “récif coralien”, we dive into a seemingly inanimate universe. Little by little, life awakens, knitting needles clatter, rubber bands twist, a bagpipe whirrs, and chopsticks start to dance at full speed.
Slumberland, Jochem Baelus / 25 min
Het Akkoord + majoretten
HET AKKOORD is an eccentric and colorful urban brass band that experiments with unusual instruments or plays pieces that don’t really belong to the classical brass band repertoire.
A brass band like you’ve never seen before.

The Unheard
Five energetic megaphone robots burst out of the woodwork like unbridled children. They follow a cyclist like puppies, circle around a couple in love or watch passers-by with a questioning look.
CREW & K.A.K Production / 50 min
Pakman
PAKMAN travels the country delivering packages, always on time. In the container of his small truck, the audience is invited to witness an intense performance about a lonely and invisible participant. PAKMAN is an encounter between the rhythms of juggler Stijn Grupping and drummer Frederik Meulyzer.

Fedde ten Berge & Frank Baldé
Sming
Sming is an interactive choral installation offering people the possibility to be both conductor and choir. The visitor’s voice is recorded and then modified by software to compose the complete choir, from baritone to soprano. Each screen is a voice of the choir and is created from the original sound that was recorded
Superb Company
Amadeo Island
The Amadeo Workshop consists of beautifully crafted wooden musical instruments and sound sculptures. Together, they form an ensemble, a landscape, an alienating and exciting environment. An invitation to the imagination.
Amadeo Kollectif
Aya Suzuki
In her music room, Japanese percussionist Aya Suzuki works with metal instruments. Each instrument, including the vibraphone, a large triangle and aluminum tubes, is made of a different material that produces its own sounds and harmonics.
Aya Suzuki / 20 min
Junior Akwety
It is as a true master of ceremonies, with only a Midi Pad for instrument that Akwerty Junior brings a diversified musical mix from rumba to hip hop, from Rnb to electronic music.
