B-Classic - 04.10.2024 HIDE TO SHOW by Nadar Ensemble | Festival BEROERT

Grandiose, festive opening with Hide to Show by Nadar Ensemble, FREE entry for everyone."

The hall lights go out, the spotlights come on. In this whirlwind show, Michael Beil and the Nadar Ensemble masterfully play with what is real and what is not. Hide to Show is not an ordinary concert experience. Six closed booths with blinds form the stage for the artists, who perform music, act, sing, and dance. Each prepares for their moment of glory, and we peek in. Or so we think. In the illusionary play of video projections on the opening and closing blinds, nothing is as it seems. Hide to Show is a hilarious game of hiding and revealing, of reality and illusion, of performing music or pretending to perform music, and of live and virtual. Let yourself be swept away by a rollercoaster of images, music, 1980s New Beat, Finnish-Japanese polkas, and dazzling dance moves.

For this festive opening evening, we invite everyone for free. Register here and claim your free seat.

A performance as part of the 'Beroert' festival, a collaboration between VELINX and B-Classic.
