De nacht van de vertraging
24 hours of slowing down
Fri 12 Feb 2027 - Sun 14 Feb 2027
The night of slowing down, 24 hours of music and slowing down.
With The Night of Slowing Down, DE SINGEL and Klara invite you to a unique day and night, underpinned by music and performance. Together, we embark on a journey through the building, exploring the many dimensions of sound and silence. Hour by hour, time slows and we turn inward. You will experience ceremonies, trance-like music, dance, and concerts that probe the boundaries between different sound worlds.
With the return of Anouar Brahem and the acclaimed My Fierce Ignorant Step by Christos Papadopoulos, the festival begins in the big halls. Afterwards, we explore DE SINGEL’s in-between spaces and smaller halls, each offering unique listening experiences. On the Kunstplein, Erik Satie's Vexations will sound out through the night. In the Theatre Studio, the duo Heinali and Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko delve into the visionary music of Hildegard von Bingen, interwoven with drone-like electronics. Meanwhile, Rafael Toral’s Travelling Light stretches time with jazz standards in slow motion.
Welcome to 24 hours at DE SINGEL: to listen, to rest, to sleep, and to wake up again. The full programme will be announced in September 2026.
