Musical quintet transforms thousands of collected phrases into interactive show

The musical group Tout Finira Bien will perform a participatory show called Ma Galaxie in Liège, Belgium, on December 4.

The quintet will perform at L'An Vert, a venue in the Outremeuse district. This performance marks the first time the production will stop in the city. Artist Gilles Bourgain created the project based on a phrase his father spoke in 2012 regarding the importance of human connections.

Over the past 14 years, Bourgain collected more than 6,000 everyday phrases, reflections, and spontaneous words from people. The group uses this collection of human experiences as the foundation for a repertoire of poetic and socially engaged songs. The show involves more than just listening to music. Bourgain collaborated with visual artist Olivier Pé to create an experience where the audience participates in a collective creation.

Spectators are invited to draw their own galaxies and include the people who matter most to them. As the music plays, these personal drawings join together to form a shared piece of art. The acoustic ensemble includes Bourgain on vocals and flute, alongside Stéphan Caracci on percussion, Florent Hubert on clarinet and saxophone, Yann Lecollaire on bass clarinet, and Sophian Bourire on double bass.

After debuting at Propulse 2026 and performing over 45 dates across Belgium and France, the group returns to L'An Vert, where they played their first shows.
