The Manège Theatre in Mons hosted two evenings of the theatrical production Silence du chœur, a play exploring the reception of newcomers, followed by discussions with local associations.

In recent days, the play Silence du chœur, directed by Marie-Aurore d’Awans, brought together artists, the public, and associations for two performances at the Manège Theatre in Mons.
On stage, the production offers a reflection on welcoming those who arrive. Around the stage, meetings facilitated further dialogue, particularly with associations working with undocumented individuals in Mons, during post-show discussions and a philosophy aperitif.
The event was made possible through collaboration with Picardie Laïque, le Cri mb wapi, Mons comité de soutien aux sans-papiers, Amnesty International Belgique francophone, Village du monde, Comité Palestine Mons-Borinage, and MJ Cuesmes.
