That evening, S.M.A.K. transforms one of the museum rooms into an exclusive setting for a live concert by Amatorski.

Miniature installations by artist Winnie Claessens are developed into a scenography by Lucas Van Haesbroeck and interwoven with the music of Amatorski.

The live performance explores the new album Curves and Bends, Things Veer in a spatial way and sets out on a unique quest between man, nature, technology and phenomena.

Buy your tickets here.
