11 november 1940. De bezetter verbiedt elke herdenking van de Wapenstilstand van 1918. Toch verschijnen overal bloemen, vlaggen en symbolen van verzet. Er volgen arrestaties en strenge straffen, maar het vuur is aangewakkerd. De verzetsgeest is ontwaakt — en zal niet meer doven. #wapenstilstand

Just finished watching the excellent new opera “Ali” at La Monnaie / De Munt. The true story of a Somali boy fleeing Al Shabab to Europe. Truly operatic in scale and emotion but with a fantastic score melding European, Arabic and Somali language and music. Strong recommend for Brusseleirs.
