As part of the Sensorial Symphonies performances, Elisabeth Schilling is organising an exhibition at the Grand Théâtre, which will run from September 27 to October 2, 2025 under the name Botanical Beats. The exhibition will be created from a series of workshops where participants share their plant-related stories beforehand. These stories will be written by Ian De Toffoli and transformed into short dance performances by emerging dancers. Additionally, the stories and insights gathered will serve as the inspiration for a specially designed decoration by the Service Parcs / Ville de Luxembourg.
08 MARCH, GRAND THÉÂTRE, 2PM
Join writer Ian De Toffoli and choreographer Elisabeth Schilling for creative workshops exploring your plant stories. We’ll discuss questions like:
- Which plants are meaningful to you?
- Are there flowers or trees that hold deep meaning for you, and why?
- Do you have a favorite flower that has accompanied you for years? Along with Elisabeth Schilling, who will share insights from her two years of research on plant life and culture, these workshops offer a deep dive into the fascinating world of plants.
