In this longstanding collaboration with Bimhuis, we present interdisciplinary evenings where we bring musicians together with choreographers, performers, and dancers. This edition brings cellist and composer Maarten Vos to the stage. With his combination of cello and modular synthesizer, Vos explores the boundaries between acoustic and electronic sounds. He has presented his compositions at international venues and festivals such as Le Guess Who?, MUTEK, Sonár, Rewire, Paris Philharmonie, and Funkhaus Berlin. Vos regularly collaborates with other artists and musicians such as Colin Benders, Julianna Barwick, and Joep Beving, as well as fashion designer Iris van Herpen.

On behalf of WhyNot dancer and choreographer Alesya Dobysh and composer Max Frimout will be presenting Motus Sonus, an interdisciplinary experimental project that explores the interplay between movement, sound, and space, adapting each performance to the architectural and acoustic features of the venue and contributing guest artists. Motus Sonus will feature Moroccan choreographer Mehdi Dahkan, whose physically dynamic work draws from breakdance, parkour, and urban practices to explore personal and collective behavior shaped by contemporary Maghreb culture; and Xenia Sairento, a Paris-based experimental dancer who bridges urban forms and somatic research, known for redefining femininity within the electro dance community.
