The fifth edition of the Passa Porta Festival takes place from 26 to 29 March. Over 100 writers from around the world descend on Brussels for a wide range of talks and discussions on literature and (our) time.
The culmination point of the Festival, the Parcours guides book lovers through the heart of Brussels: from BOZAR to Goupil Le Fol, from La Centrale to AB.

13:00 – 14:00 | en
Michel Faber
AB Theater
His latest novel, The Book of Strange New Things, is a fascinating fiction that plays with the borders of time, language and place, explores religion and science, but is above all a heartbreaking love story. It is also an elegy for Faber's late wife, Eva. Interview: Ruth Joos.
Music: Pigeon.

14:30 – 15:30 | nl / fr / en / du
Tom Lanoye, Josse De Pauw & Els Dottermans
AB Theater
Is Lanoye's unique talent untranslatable? Together with performers Els Dottermans and Josse De Pauw, Tom Lanoye provides a sample of his work and proves the contrary.
Music: Pigeon.

16:30 – 17:30 | fr 
Frédéric Beigbeder
AB Theater
The questions that haunt the author of 99 Francs and A French Novel are anchored in the here and now, like how to write when everything seems to have been said and written by the greatest writers. Éric Russon investigates.
Music: Pigeon.

Apart from these grand authors, you can turn to AB all day for animations and extraordinary discoveries. Like comics artists Conz, Kim, Fabienne Loodts, Maxime Jeune, Noémie Marsily and Wauter Mannaert, who will draw your future for you as clear as day, or the endurance storytelling performance by the Brazilian writer and artist Luanda Casella. Or you can sit down in a converted barber’s chair for a minute of silence, enjoy the theater group Transquinquennal, introduce yourself to speed-reading or buy books of your favourite festival author at the book stand.

One badge will allow acces to every programme of the Parcours on Sunday the 29th of March.
