A Day is a Hundred Years

2023

“I’ve realized that you can’t separate the building from the people who care for it. That is why the cast of ‘A Day is a Hundred Years’ consists of people who have been a part of Decoratelier for a long time. We fictionalize the history of this place in Brussels: its past, but also its future. Because the story of Decoratelier is the story of Brussels: a city where buildings, sites and whole neighbourhoods are constantly being renovated and repurposed. Buildings aren’t snapshots. Every building is always in transition. That is what the piece is about: a space through time, and time through a space.”
