This post is also available in: Français (French) Nederlands (Dutch) B-Astra : “to become your own astra” Also a performer and pianist; originating from the foggycapital of Belgium and on an intense journey into the great beyond. Often called an “alien born to earth,” she has been on a voyage tinged with surrealism and filled with energy; overcoming struggles and using her art to turn pain into joy. Once a street child after a distinguished musical education with Johan Schmidt, she freed herself as an assertive and self-made original stage woman. Her soul embraced a chorus of alley creatures, combining her formal music training with an underground flare that she developed on the flipside of Brussels nightlife. A journey through the human’s eye fraught with pitfalls of which she rose a thousand times: singing, playing, and dancing, she created a style of her own. Photo : Jessica Gérard
