Hurrying and slowing down, clashing and softening.

Adem de Stad takes you on a musical stroll through the beating heart of the city. From playful encounters to absurd scenes – here, the city is celebrated in song and music.

With brand-new music by composer Frederik Neyrinck, excerpts from Louis Andriessen’s Workers Union and lyrics by Max Greyson, I SOLISTI, Zuidgeluid (featuring a children’s choir with young people from Antwerp schools), I SOLISTI YoungStars, Lies Van Gasse (live drawings) and Max Greyson (spoken word) bring the city to life.

Inspired by conversations with the participating children, a performance emerges that is as polyphonic as the city itself.

Adem de Stad is a compelling experience for young and old (8+), where sounds, words and images merge into a vibrant portrait of the city. Throughout the school year, the children work towards this performance in collaboration with the team at Zuidgeluid. An experience not to be missed
