An unusual evening to awaken all your senses

Since its creation, Dans le Noir ? Brussels has established itself as an emblematic venue for immersive, human experiences. Its philosophy: plunge guests into total darkness to stimulate the other senses and offer total immersion in the unexpected. On July 17, 2025, this musical approach takes on a new dimension with "Harmonie de la Musique dans le Noir", an evening where music and darkness merge to reveal the full richness of sound perception.

An exclusive performance with handpan master Gerard Spencer

Gerard Spencer, a Franco-British handpan player, has a deep passion for exploring the rich and varied sounds of this unique instrument. It was during a walk along London's River Thames that he discovered the handpan through a street performance. Fascinated by its haunting sounds, it didn't take long for him to fall in love with this exceptional instrument.

After an arduous quest to acquire his own handpan, Gerard devoted years to perfecting his playing. His reputation was quickly established through performances all over Europe, where he fascinates audiences with his ability to play sounds that are sometimes mysterious, sometimes soothing, with a rare emotional depth. On this evening, he will perform a carefully selected repertoire - ranging from contemporary to improvisation - to create a unique sonic experience.

A marriage between music and darkness

The warm, mysterious sound of the handpan, amplified in total silence, offers an extraordinary sensory immersion. The notes resonate intensely, evoking soundscapes that unfold without visuals, allowing each guest to listen with total attention, leaving room for emotion and introspection.

An unforgettable multi-sensory experience

This concert in the dark is not limited to music: every sense is called upon. Without sight, the taste of fine food, the smell of aromas and the texture of dishes take on a new dimension, enhanced by the gentleness of sounds and the power of vibrations. Together, they create an inner voyage of sound, sensitivity and emotion.
