20 February 2025, news
With the 14th edition of Rewire moving ever closer, 32 new artists and projects have been added to the line-up in the third announcement, spanning adventurous performances, interdisciplinary works, and site-specific collaborations. The 2025 festival will be taking place between 3 and 6 April across 20+ venues in The Hague, including Amare.
Rewire 2025 offers a multitude of premieres and multidisciplinary performances. Billy Bultheel brings A History of Decay, where the audience is divided into two groups: one of which joins the musicians on stage, while the other sits around a towering, monolithic instrument that amplifies and resonates with the piece's deep tones. Eiko Ishibashi will play a solo piece in the special surroundings of Lutherse Kerk, while Matana Roberts comes to the festival with a specially assembled one-off constellation of musicians to perform their boundary-pushing music. more eaze & claire rousay present a world premiere live performance of their new album no floor. Another collaboration between friends, Ana Roxanne and DJ Python, aka Natural Wonder Beauty Concept, also joins the line-up. Brought into the spotlight while cutting her teeth as the bassist for shoegazing giants My Bloody Valentine, Deb Googe and Cara Tivey play music from their monumental forthcoming record The Golden Thread. Cortical, Use Knife, Animistic Beliefs and No Plexus present their new audiovisual shows, while MC Yallah & Debmaster and Angry Blackmen will inject their raw hip-hop with live energy. Other additions to the Rewire 2025 line up are: NYX, Meara O’Reilly’s 'Hockets For Two Voices' performed by Mingjia Chen & Linnea, Belia Winnewisser, Kinlaw, Posuposu Otani, The Handover, Merche Blasco, Elisabeth Klinck, Comes & Veldman, and NÆT.
Proximity Music: Echoes of Entropy
Rewire 2025 marks the fifth edition of Proximity Music, a joint exhibition programme by Rewire and iii, exploring the intersections of music, architecture, technology, ritual, and play through immersive, multisensory installations. Running from 3 to 6 April, this year’s programme – Proximity Music: Echoes of Entropy – unfolds across multiple sites in The Hague’s city centre, featuring newly commissioned and adapted works by both emerging and established artists. Taking as a theme the thin boundary between order and chaos, visitors can expect at Proximity Music resonant sonic environments, kinetic sculptures, and tactile interactions from Aura Satz, Chris Salter & Marije Baalman, Coralie Vogelaar, Ioana Vreme Moser, Natalia (Nika) Sorzano, Navid Navab, and a major new commissioned work by Zimoun.
