Following Alvin Curran's performance of Maritime Rites on the Hofvijver, just a short walk away, Rewire 2025's opening programme continues in Koninklijke Schouwburg with two performances.

First, Kianí Del Valle Performance Group, Hamill Industries & Tayhana present the Dutch premiere of CORTEX – an audiovisual and choreographed performance that takes the human brain as its subject matter, with particular focus on gamma waves and the temporal lobe as avenues to study and understand consciousness and codified memories.

After that, the renowned Italian musician, producer, composer, and instrument builder Alessandro Cortini presents the ever-evolving immersive audio-visual performance Nati Infiniti. Whether in the fuzzed out moments of synth jubilation or the slow, warm flushes of ambient noise, these tones and textures harbour a sentient nature. The colour of Cortini’s synthesis paves the way for strange things to emerge from its frequencies; he creates a multidimensional sound that leaks out of the bounds of its medium into the arenas of movement and visuality. 

A ticket is needed to attend the programme in Koninklijke Schouwburg, available below, but Alvin Curran's performance of Maritime Rites is freely available to all.
