Les Fêtes de Wallonie 2024 à Mons : Spectacle « Maudits sonnants »
Maudits Sonnants’, a 50-minute show by Cie Transe Express at 9pm in Mons's Grand-Place.
A vibrant and magical show
Eight musicians and three trapeze artists defy gravity to form an orchestra unlike any other: a celestial carillon housed over 30m high. Obsessed with the passage of time, the ‘cursed bell ringers’ ring out the bells before taking off slowly towards... eternity! A show between heaven and earth combining theatre, music, prowess and plastic arts as part of the Fêtes de Wallonie in Mons.
