UBER SLOW- “SHE SHANTY TAXIBOAT"

[EN]

During Brussel’s Slow Ways Weekend, oracle and the She Shanty Crew will invite you to wander and croon your way slowly through the city along the canal. Moving more slowly than walking pace, the small boat Buratinas will be traveling from the harbour BRYC to the Molenbeek lock during the whole afternoon of Saturday 16 October. The She Shanty Crew will sing and share eco-’she shanties’: feminised sailing songs, inspired by the rippling rhythm of the Brussel’s waterways and their ecosystem. They investigate the influence of the canal on their vocal practice and the call and response code of sea- shanties. The public can follow the parcours from the banks and bridges or board the Buratinas at various stops to sing along the way.

Afterwards the boat stops at the Kanal (Quai des Péniches), Café Walvis (side Molenbeek), Molenbeek lock, Biestebroek.
