The 2nd Annual Hague International Sound Art Festival invites audiences to explore the captivating contrasts of sound through the theme "Arsis vs Thesis."

The concept delves into extreme opposites, like fast versus slow, high versus low, and heavy versus light, using sound as a powerful medium for expression.

The festival brings together these stark dichotomies to craft a sonic experience that challenges perceptions and invites reflection. Audiences will witness performances that transition from serious to cheerful, from short bursts to elongated compositions, highlighting the dynamic range of sound art.

It’s a celebration of contrast, where boundaries blur, and sound shapes meaning in profound, unexpected ways.
