ADE Arts & Culture returns with first confirmations: shared art forms and cultures
The eager next generation
OSCAM
OSCAM returns to the ADE Arts & Culture program with its seven-day writers' camp designed to give a stage to female-identifying, non-binary, and trans-hip-hop artists. Because of their significant contributions to the genre, the Open Space Contemporary Art Museum declares it time to give them their flowers. The writers' camp takes place the week before ADE and challenges the participating producers to write and launch a song they'll perform during ADE.
Young Composers Take on Bruckner
Orgelpark is a new location to ADE and an undiscovered gem for most electronic music enthusiasts, but that changes this year as communities and timelines come together. In this concert hall that centres a large organ, young artists take on the work of the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, who lived from 1824 – 1896. They play two of his most well-known symphonies, Number Two and Zero.
Artists Pitou Nicolaes and Jasmine Karimova sing with Frieda Gustavs about the differences between our time and Bruckner's and things that will never change. Four letters to Gustav's grandmother tell the story, and next to them are twenty trombones guiding the artists. The second showing sees contemporary classical and electronic music composer Rick van Veldhuizen rearrange Bruckner's 'zero' to the point where nothing seems recognisable anymore – until it is.

Friendship and losing yourself
GABBERS WAREN WE
Ready for an overwhelming, out-of-control theatre ride combining a play, a dance performance, and a gabber-rave – to a 160 bpm soundtrack? 'Gabbers waren we' is a show about friendship and becoming who you want to be, highlighting the infamous Dutch gabber culture that shaped generations and is bigger than ever these days.
From ADE Wednesday to ADE Friday, the show unfolds the poignant tale of Alex, Moon, and Ben. They start as best friends, only to lose themselves and each other. Twenty-five years later, a twist of fate reunites Alex and Moon. In a single night, they confront their past, the choices that shaped them, and embark on a journey to reclaim what they once lost.
This show contains loud music, profanity, stroboscopes, and lasers.
More announcements follow soon. Tickets are available via the link in the event titles. ADE Pro Pass Holders have entrance to these events, next to all other benefits.
