UTAN Conference | The evolution of theater venues from antiquity to the 20th century
Passionate about the stage since childhood, choreographer in youth companies and theater administrator, Nicole Hanot has developed expertise in the history of dance and theater, which she has taught at the Mosa Ballet School, shared in numerous articles, and documented through her collection of more than 2,000 books on the subject.Everyone is familiar, at least from images on the internet, with the shape of ancient theaters, without necessarily being able to differentiate between those of the Greek and Roman eras. And without knowing that there was one in Belgium! But what about after the fall of the Roman Empire? Where did actors, dancers, singers, and performers perform, and under what conditions? In the Middle Ages, during the Renaissance? When and where did the first "permanent" theaters of the modern era appear?Everyone also has an idea of what an Italian-style theater is, which became widespread in the 19th century, such as the Théâtre Royal in Namur or La Monnaie in Brussels. But how was it designed? Do you reserve a seat in the balcony or the gallery? Why do we wish the artist "Merde!" before the show? And what new architectural forms emerged in the 20th century?Take advantage of the "eye of the curtain" to take an amusing look at the evolution of Western theater, a richly illustrated lecture by Nicole Hanot!Registration fee: €7 - UTAN members: €5More information on the UTAN website: https://www.utan.be/index.php/conferences

UTAN Conference | The liberation of Namur in September 1944
Eighty years ago, the whole of Belgium celebrated its liberation after four years of war and deprivation. Namur, badly scarred by the recent bombing in August 1944, did not give up on these celebrations. However, cohabitation with the Allied troops had to be organized, the return of prisoners was marked by the absence of many of them, the hardships of rationing were still very much a reality, the trials of collaborators marked the daily life of the people of Namur, and the reconstruction of the city kept the municipal authorities busy for a long time. This contribution examines various themes of the "post-liberation" period that have been addressed thanks to the contribution of previously unpublished archives, notably those of the US Army, which have now been declassified. Speaker: France TilmantRegistration fee: €7 - UTAN members: €5More information on the UTAN website: https://www.utan.be/index.php/conferences

REHNamur Conference - Namur before our eyes
The city of Namur has changed considerably over the last 50 years, and even more so over the last 20. Among these changes, one aspect that is not highlighted is demographic evolution: low growth due solely to Belgians of foreign origin and non-Belgians. This has a significant impact on incomes, which are stagnating in Namur in contrast to the outlying towns. In the city, poverty is on the rise. All this has repercussions on communal finances, trade and urban attractiveness.The REHNam conferences are disciplinary scientific meetings, often transdisciplinary.More info: https://rehnam.unamur.be/conferences/index

Francqui Chair 2025-2026 in the Faculty of Law | Need for the environment, need for law?
This Francqui Chair offers a fresh perspective on the advances and tensions that characterize the way in which the law currently organizes society's relationship with the environment, as an essential substrate for human life and the balance of ecosystems. Far from presenting this law as having reached its peak, it is its recent major advances that will be discussed, as well as the risks of regression that threaten it. If the ambition to protect the environment has indeed become a legal issue, how are its essential drivers evolving, whether in terms of climate, human health, or the status accorded to nature?The conference will be followed by a local drink offered by the Cercle de Droit, the Régionale la Binchoise, and the Régionale RTM.Free event. Registration strongly recommended.
