Central Laat x U? x Subbacultcha

During Centraal Laat, a different cultural organisation from Utrecht takes over the museum for one evening each year and creates a one-off event that ties in with the current exhibition. For this edition, Subbacultcha was asked to join the program team as well.

During this collaborative evening, we’ll delve deeper into the world of Tarot and rituals this evening. You’ll have the opportunity to view and experience the exhibition Shertise Salano – Move You Fool. Enjoy performances and workshops, and delve deeper into the theme of Tarot through a reading by Sjoeke-Marije. Experience spirituality through live music and art, and discover how other artists are putting their own spin on themes from the exhibition.

Maguette Dieng presents s(a)(e)cre(d)(t) wisdom

A listening session inspired by Senegalese divination traditions, which utilize systems such as cowrie shell reading. These ancestral divination methods—passed down through generations—remain vibrant and influential spiritual practices on the African continent to this day. They offer a means of finding clarity, direction, and protection: a way to explore the future and unfold the present.

Beauty Trials

Beauty Trials is an experiment in spiritual disillusionment. They demonstrate a multifaceted, ambient approach to tarot resonances. The ensemble consists of current students Sam Zwart and Sam O’Connell, along with alumna Carmela Michailidis of the HKU Utrecht Conservatory. Beauty Trials originated within the Musician 3.0 department—a place where they further developed their improvisation skills and blossomed as interdisciplinary performance makers. Their sound blends ambient, experimental jazz, and shoegaze, moving between texture and space, structure and spontaneity.

Sjoeke Marije

Sjoeke-Marije Wallendal is a theatre maker, body-oriented therapist, and tarot reader. As a director, she creates work that engages the audience and engages all the senses. Come for a mini-reading to help you gain clarity about a dilemma, question, or blockage you’re currently facing. You can also join without a specific question and simply listen to what the tarot has to say.

In this lecture, she discusses the meaning and symbolism of the tarot cards and shows how to read and interpret them.

Galalalive – O Omnipotent and Phantom Wizard will both perform at the Tuinzaal hall.
