Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid” is a classic silent comedy-drama, released in 1921, in which The Tramp stumbles upon an abandoned child and though initially reluctant, takes him in and raises him as his own. The screening comes with a live orchestral performance by the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Timothy Brock. This is truly the full-on experience of a classic film.

Sure, this event is not hosted in Luxembourg, but of course you may participate! The Parisian Musée de l’Homme invites you to take part in a laughter yoga workshop to experience and understand more about laughter in families. The workshop is hosted via Microsoft Teams, so there is most likely no limit to the number of attendees. The workshop is free of charge in exchange for feedback via an online questionnaire. And furthermore, here’s a Ted Talk by cognitive neuroscientist Sophie Scott sharing some surprising facts about laughter.

This event aims to strengthen the visibility of Afro-descendant personalities who, through their productions, their works and their local and/or international presence, contribute to Luxembourg’s influence. How to share this information with others? By collectively editing a Wikipedia article on the subject. While the cultural and ethnic diversity of Luxembourg is well established, the visibility of Afro-descendants is sadly still very limited. Make a change in this “edit-a-thon”, which combines “edit” and “marathon” and become full Wikipedia contributors!
What: International stars and national artists
Where: From the comfort of your home
When: Friday, 26 February - Sunday, 28 February at 7pm - info & stream here

Since the beginning of February, the artists of the cooperationsART collective have been making the former premises of the Keramikfabrik and the Galerie Terres Rouges vibrate with creativity. Friday, 26 February is their last residency day. Who will you be seeing? Charel’s ghetto-blaster resonates and accompanies him in his graffiti work while Francis Kirtz, seated at his table, works on his new series of point by point nude paintings. A little further on, Fatima De Moura carefully reads the press, conducts interviews and draws inspiration for writing. Kevin Schmit, meanwhile, dives into his Webcomic titled “Dead on the Art”. Tania Steinfort experiments with the ashes of her memories while Ben Kieffer, Carlo Wertheimer and Didier Scheuren let off steam in the gallery with expressionist-psychedelic drawings.
What: Dance exploration
Where: Kinneksbond, 42, route d’Arlon, L-8210 Mamer
When: Friday, 26 February - Sunday, 28 February at 4.30pm and 8pm - info & tickets here
Immersed in the hippy universe of the 60s and 70s, five dancers explore different forms of “immobile journeys” that serve both as an escape and to find identity. While some trips focus on discovery or adventure with unexpected encounters, others are internal, spiritual or even poetic. As diverse as the globetrotter’s motivations may be, they always reveal, in their own way, the questioning of everyday life - becoming the master of one’s time.
