Nightwater
Nightwater premieres in Amsterdam on 12, 13, 14 September! A large-scale performance installation throughout the building of the Muziekgebouw, unfolding as a rural dream inside an urban venue.
What happens when you teleport an industrial irrigation machine from a Greek village into an Amsterdam concert hall? This is what Nightwater explores, the new interdisciplinary production composer and director Thanasis Deligiannis created exclusively for the Muziekgebouw. With a mix of field recordings, megaphones, diverse speakers, video projections, plastic garden chairs, Deligiannis and his team are transforming the building into a dazzling installation. Inside, a vibrant realm of live music and electronics emerges, promising an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
We team up with Ensemble Klang, The Rest Is Noise and Greek musicians, to create a 3-DAY evolving experience:
DAY 1 – Performance installation with Ensemble Klang (19:30-23:30)
DAY 2 – Performance installation with Ensemble Klang (19:30-22:00) // The Rest Is Noise (22:00-02:00)
