On a journey of discovery through an electronic wilderness

Look, there goes a sound! People often think you can only hear sounds, but that’s just not true. Come have a look in the garden of the duo Perforator! Oboist Marlies van Gangelen and inventor Akim Moiseenkov will take you on a journey of discovery through an electronic wilderness, where you will see the sounds fly by. With the passionate Sahand Sahebdivani as our guide, we are treated to a unique spectacle that’s a feast for both the ears and eyes.

Perforator blends live music with electronic elements, new technology, and DIY creations. Akim Moiseenkov invents the most bizarre instruments, from a musical plant to a bird-reptile that sings like a robot. On her electric oboe, Marlies van Gangelen magically brings to life the sounds of a roaring cricket, hard-working ants and slippery worms. Welcome to the botanical gardens of Perforator, where adventure, fun and wonder await.
