As part of the 15th edition of KIKK Festival, a dedicated showcase of Quebec-based projects will be presented at the Amphitheatre of the Théâtre de Namur on 22 and 23 October 2026, featuring four projects from Quebec’s vibrant creative ecosystem.
This showcase is part of the close and long-standing collaboration between KIKK and Quebec, which has continued to grow through artistic, professional and institutional exchanges. Over the years, several Quebec artists have been featured in KIKK’s artistic programme, while the festival has developed partnerships with key Quebec organisations such as MUTEK, including through live performances and artistic collaborations.
The partnership also extends to a three-year cross-residency programme developed with Mois Multi, Recto Verso and Centre Bang, fostering mobility, experimentation and knowledge exchange between artists and cultural organisations in Quebec and Belgium.
The presence of a Quebec professional delegation at KIKK 2026 further strengthens these connections and creates opportunities for new collaborations across the cultural and creative industries. As part of this international exchange, KIKK will also host a Quebec–Catalonia Cocktail on 22 October, bringing together professionals and cultural stakeholders from both regions.
Together, these initiatives highlight KIKK’s commitment to building long-term international partnerships and to creating bridges between Quebec and the European creative ecosystem.

Reflet makes the invisible visible. This immersive technology interprets and translates biometric signals in real time to generate personalized, evolving immersive experiences. By combining physiological data, machine learning, and generative creation, Reflet transforms invisible bodily signals into evolving visual and sonic compositions. More than a measurement tool, it explores how biometric signals can be artistically interpreted to foster self-awareness, deepen emotional perception, and inspire new forms of artistic expression and human interaction. Designed as both a creative platform and a research tool, Reflet brings together art, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to create immersive experiences driven by the interpretation of biometric data.
