As part of Rewire 2026, the festival invites audiences to a special Sensory-Sensitive Concert on Sunday 12 April at Amare in The Hague. This performance is developed in collaboration with Amare, to offer an immersive and accessible listening experience, welcoming those who may find conventional concert environments overstimulating. Tickets are now on sale. The concert is also accessible with a 3-Day Pass, 4-Day Pass, or Sunday Pass for a very limited number of people.
Media artist and musician Khrystyna Kirik and audiovisual performer and multimedia artist Emma Rubikaite-Milasiute present the sensory-sensitive performance Biophilic Vision as a special commission by Rewire and Amare. The duo share an interest in found objects, active listening, and in questions around how environments and nature shape perception, with Kirik taking a particular interest in the idea of hyper-ambience. Their audiovisual project Biophilic Vision takes listening as an embodied and ecological practice and explores matter and experience through that perspective. Low-frequency vibrations and haptic textures, produced using found objects, operate at the threshold of hearing, engaging the body as a porous receptor of and interlocutor with its environment. The project reflects on how careful listening can allow someone to recognise their entanglement with living and non-living systems. By softening boundaries between self, environment, and others, the work frames listening as a contemporary practice of coexistence: quiet, attentive, and urgently needed.
What is a sensory-sensitive concert?
At a sensory-sensitive event, sensory stimuli are reduced to ensure accessibility to a cultural experience. At a low-stimulus concert, the volume of the music presented is in a lower decibel range and the number of visitors is limited. The concert takes place during the day and the location is designed to be low-stimulus. This means that the bar and foyer are devoid of background music, the location staff are instructed on how best to interact with the audience, and a quiet room is available. By reducing environmental stimuli, the audience can fully enjoy the music. Rewire has been presenting these sensory-sensitive concerts since 2021.
