Ave Maria is one of the single from the album 2020 by Quentin Dujardin. Since February 14, 2021, when his live Ave Maria performance was banned by the authorities (*), the artist has become an icon of our freedom of expression. Taking legal action against the improper state of emergency imposed on the art world, he aims to win his case against the government. Continuing to perform during lockdown, Quentin Dujardin is combining his unclassifiable work with that of a committed citizen. The impact is universal.

(*)The Belgian government began permitting religious gatherings of up to 15 people, while still prohibiting live cultural events. Protesting this double standard, Quentin Dujardin gave a public performance, titled Ave Maria, on a Sunday in a local church. He was arrested after five minutes.
