About this event

Crawler Presents: Your Death Is a Lullaby Nothing Here Now and The Rest Is Noise present the live premiere of Crawler: Your Death Is a Lullaby at Muziekgebouw. Opening the night is a new collaborative project from 2K88, Rainy Miller, and Bianca Scout, developed during an Unsound residency and released as Everything Always Changes, For We're Truly Here, which features Lauren Duffus, weaving hypnagogic R&B through half-remembered histories. The evening continues with Crawler, founded by Rachella Groen (Zohar) and Harry Castle, joined by writer Gervaise Alexis Savvias. The project asks who gets to be legible, and what it costs to insist on being otherwise, treating instability, fragility, and refusal as a queer politics rather than as failures of communication. Grief, desire, Blackness, and hauntology run throughout Gervaise's writing, positioning the body on stage as a site of contest rather than display. For this premiere, cellist Malou van der Veld and guitarist Rob Toal-Lennon join the core group, while Studio Basse Stitgen's live installation and Clint Soren's visuals extend Crawler's collective language into the spatial and visual dimensions of the performance. Closing the night is Nkisi, an electronic musician and composer rooted in the Congolese diaspora and African cosmologies. Co-founder of NON Worldwide, her research project The Anomaly Index explores rhythm and vibration as counter-epistemologies, while her live performance extends the ongoing Black Spells Series: sonic rituals of remembrance in which rhythm carries stories rather than merely decorating them. The project is part of Muziekgebouw Productiehuis and the ADE Arts&Culture.
