Beginning 2005, the huge Cité administrative de l’Etat (an administrative Center built in the heart of Brussels in the wake of the 1958 World Exhibition) was abandoned by its last « inhabitants » as it had been sold to a private investor. The site had been a glorious symbol of the Providential State and of Centralized Government. Its history may reflect that of Belgium and of the State.
The Cité had been conceived as a city in the heart of a city. The idea was to invent a new modern administration, as transparent and open to the public as its elegant International Style façades.
But how did people work in such a utopian project, in such architectural forms? End 2004, beginning 2005, just before the end of the story, a number of French- end Dutch-speaking civil workers answer these questions and tell us their feelings, impressions and memories. These voices and words progressively create a music that links human faces and a superhuman architecture.
And once the place has been left, as time goes by, their memories go on haunting the empty corridors and offices.
