Exhibition-inspired storytelling
Inspired by the House of European History’s Bellum et Artes exhibition, storyteller Luisa Bevilacqua embarks on an imaginary journey during the first half of the 17th century.
The event will be offered twice in English and once in French on Sept. 26 at the House of European History. Each session will last 50 minutes. Due to the limited number of places available for each session, reservation is required.
Using the exhibition as her starting point, Ms. Bevilacqua will construct a story and will travel with her audience through time.
Bellum et Artes (War and Art) focuses on the role of the arts during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). The exhibition, which runs until early 2025, tackles the relationship between conflict and artistic expression. It explores how the warring parties’ used the arts to demonstrate their power and examines how works of art eventually helped in bringing peace.
Luisa Bevilacqua is an artist and a member of the teaching team of the International School of Storytelling at the Théâtre de la Parole in Brussels. In 2021, she co-founded Erzielkonscht, an association in Luxembourg, which aims to support and promote the art of storytelling.
