For my last night in Brussels, I went with a friend to the museum nocturne, which is a series of special events and exhibitions at the museums around the city. It was amazing to visit the museums, and we even participated in a live sculpture performance (which was a bit like being tickled with your eyes shut). BUT the absolute highlight was a screening of several silent films from the early 1900’s, accompanied by a live pianist who improvised the music for each film as you watched them. Some of the films were made using stop-press animation, and some were acted. We saw more than a dozen, and it was such a unique experience. Story-telling without the need for words is so powerful, and made even more emotive and FUNNY with the music. Apparently Charlie Chaplin would choreograph music to accompany each of his pieces, so that the pianist would capture the emotions in the way he intended, and not using their own interpretation. I absolutely loved it.
Meeting new friends is the best part of traveling
