The Night of the Unexpected has established cult status in Dutch cultural life and throughout Europe, and now makes its London debut. The idea is simple: an evening of short, sharp performances in swift succession, with a programme which cross-cuts through styles and genres, varying from experimental beats, electronics and improvised jazz to composed repertoire and conceptual pop music. Alongside these performances onedotzero will present an audiovisual installation of transporting, immersive and contemplative moving image work.
Supported by an anonymous donor, The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Performing Arts Fund NL.
Thanks also to Paradiso and Gaudeamus Music Week.
Please note there will be no traditional concert seating at this event.
