Octopussies

(20h, performance)
We are the Octopussies collective, and as our name suggests, we love to swim through waves of surrealism and irony. We twist logic into playful knots, inviting new ways to inhabit and feel landscapes. We dwell in absurdity with a touch of dadism and oneiric poetry. Our favorite game is twisting logic to open up new ways of seeing the landscape. We move through it with our bodies, imagination, and dreams.

At Bosacademie, we dive into the terrain and its caretakers with open hearts and wild curiosity. We let our imaginations run loose, weaving together stories, textures, and unlikely connections. Difference is our playground — social, environmental, or otherwise. We seek not just to coexist, but to celebrate the beauty of entanglement. We don’t walk straight lines — we ripple, swirl, and bloom where logic ends.

Aïsha

(21h, concert)
Als indie singer-songwriter brengt Aïsha rauwe verhalen vol emotie en eerlijkheid. Met wortels die diep verankerd zijn in cultuur en queerness schrijft ze nummers over thema’s die de basis vormen van haar project: de pijn van een moeilijke coming out, het zoeken naar een plek in de maatschappij, het spanningsveld tussen culturele afkomst en identiteit, en de hobbelige weg naar zelfacceptatie.
Elk nummer is een openhartig dagboekfragment, soms fluisterzacht, soms stormachtig, maar altijd authentiek. Met invloeden zoals Boygenius, Soccer Mommy, Bess Atwell, Sorcha Richardson creëert ze sounds die zowel intiem als krachtig zijn.

La Sonora Amberina

(22h, concert)
De Agua Somos is a celebration of cumbia as a living, flowing force—like water, it moves through bodies, borders, and time. At La Sonora Amberina, we believe cumbia is felt with the hips and shared through joy. We break the barrier between stage and audience: everyone becomes part of the performance. We advocate for active listening—listening that dances, sings, and sweats. Cumbia is our way of saying “we belong.” It’s the music our parents played, the songs of childhood kitchens and community celebrations. Now, we share it with this city, making it part of our home. Through rhythm, we trace stories of migration, memory, and connection. This isn’t a show you watch—it’s one you join. Let the current pull you in.
