Fade Into You is a nocturnal festival in which you will be tempted to shamelessly merge into the other, to get lost, to disappear, to seek out the light in each other's eyes and to dance to the rhythm of your shadow. Entwined with your deepest depths, you will wander through De Studio, which will burst at the seams during the endless stream of live music, (dance)performances, visual arts and DJ sets, until, veiled in darkness, you see the first rays of sunshine creep in and awaken from this sultry winter dream.

A grim fairy tale set in rugged medieval Iceland, and Björk’s widely acclaimed acting debut: THE JUNIPER TREE is a forgotten gem of European arthouse cinema and the breakthrough film of director and professor Nietzchka Keene, who died far too young. At the invitation of VIDEODROOM 2025, Japanese musician Midori Hirano composed a brand-new soundtrack as a tribute. As part of our annual Spotlight on Womxn Director, we invited Hirano to Antwerp to perform this new score live during the screening.

Escape-Ism (US) is the razor-sharp garage/post-punk project of cult figure Ian Svenonius from the United States, known for among others The Make-Up, Chain & The Gang, Nation of Ulysses and his sharp pen as a writer and performer. Escape-Ism delivers tight riffs, repetitive grooves and lyrics that are raw, absurd and drenched in dry humor and annoyingly spot-on ideological social criticism. Live, Escape-Ism is relentless and immersive: no frills, no escape - just being dragged along.

There’s only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain, and the ones that observe. And well, baby, we’re put-on-a-show kind of clowns.

Voor de 11e editie brengt Send in the Clowns het circus naar De Studio – voor echt nu. Bereid je voor op een camp avondje uit met je favoriete drag clowns in een show die circus viert, wilde beesten temt (of net niet) en De Studio in een Pink Elephant Club verandert.

En na de show? Don’t stand there watching us, follow us, show us what you can do. Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus.

Istanbul’s Lalalar remind you of your favorite 80’s cult show theme, and simultaneously sound like a delightful dumpster dive of spaghetti western-psychedelics, Anatolian funk, sampling and fresh psychedelia from Istanbul! With their retro-cinematic bass lines, dirty electronic beats, rebroken vocals, flirting guitars and attentively dug samples from the legacies of Anatolia, Lalalar evoke a future nostalgia.
