PAY ATTENTION:
Due to the recent developments with the corona measures, we are currently looking at how we can safely design this programming at 1,5 meters. We will inform you about this as soon as possible via this website. If you have already bought tickets, we will inform you by e-mail at the beginning of next week.

After the success of their first show, The SK Concert (also presented at this Boulevard), the pop-up band of theatre-maker/performer Naomi Velissariou and sound producer Joost Maaskant continues its theatrical concert series. In this second concert, the code word is feminist terrorism. The HM Concert is inspired and based on the oeuvre of the German playwright Heiner Müller. The visuals are by photographer and visual artist Jan Hoek. The press already praised Permanent Destruction for its daring combination of biting lyrics, danceable melodies, and pounding beats in 2018: 'An intense, schizophrenic theatre concert that tears head and body apart.' according to the Flemish newspaper De Morgen ★★★★. De Volkskrant wrote: 'The HM Concert is radical, uncompromising, sinister and bizarre. And blood-curdling good.' ★★★★. The music – varying from techno to trap, hardcore, and punk – is a stirring sound of a dark message, melodrama on speed, in a radical confrontation and reckoning with misogyny.

The HM Concert is the second in the triptych of Permanent Destruction. For the first time, all three parts can be visited in one place and at a festival. With The SK Concert, Naomi Velissariou performs an autopsy on the work of British author Sarah Kane. She then processes the discovered traces of violence, poison, and sex into a concept album around the themes of self-hatred, heartbreak, and death. In The HM Concert, Velissariou confronts again, this time with the uncompromising work of the German author and director Heiner Müller. Velissariou radically expresses what she sees as the essence of Heiner Müller's work, dissecting and transforming it through the themes of misogyny, sexism, and feminist extremism. For her, a theatrical concert is the ultimate way to highlight this. 

Please note: this performance uses stroboscope/light effects.
