murf/murw day 3

On October 2, 3, and 4, the Tilburg Murf/Murw festival once again eagerly serves as the sticky café table upon which obscure multidisciplinary experimental encounters can dance wildly and freely. The festival presents more than 80 subversive screenings and performances of music, visual arts, performance, and film from both domestic and international sources. This year, Murf/Murw meets the public again at well-known cultural venues in the city center such as the Nieuwe Vorst, NS16, Schouwburg, Kunstpodium-T, Hall of Fame, Little Devil, Paradox, and this time also in the Pauluskerk and the Harmonie.

We selected a few highlights for day 3:

Dark Habits – Simon van Schuylenbergh
Dark Habits is a performance that questions our longing for community in times of spiritual crisis and hyper-individualism. It strikes a balance between the theatricality of mystical rituals and the clumsiness of cheap YouTube vanishing tricks. Van Schuylenbergh runs the underground cabaret Anal Pompidou. Through exaggeration and perversion, Dark Habits translates the intimacy and chaotic energy that arises on a small scale into a DIY pilgrimage for the big stage.

Suzan Peeters
A Brussels-based accordionist, composer and improviser. She is constantly searching for new timbres and sound textures within the accordion, pushing its acoustic spectrum to its limits by manipulating the interplay between her body and the body of her instrument. She transforms the accordion through extended techniques, objects, and live electronics.

Lintworm
Cheerful violence and colourful darkness, twisting grindcore, powerviolence, noise and other invasive sounds into a frantic all-consuming assault, deliberately excessive and no interest in subtlety. Behind the sonic abuse are Belgium’s nicest boys, armed with hearts full of peace and love and a strange fascination for the absurd and the uncomfortable.
