Whispering Skins
explores themes of neurodiversity, melancholy, transformation, and body rituals, with this autumn edition shaping a unique atmosphere. FLAM creates a transparent space where warm light can still get in inspiring reflection and new ideas while acknowledging today's complexities.
While focusing on invisible diversities and inner experiences, there is also room for more energetic and critical works that engage directly with the audience, sparking dynamic dialogues and interactions.
Featuring cross-disciplinary works—from conceptual to theatrical and movement to voice—FLAM offers an immersive experience where audiences share space with performers, encouraging active engagement.
Instead of focusing solely on outcomes, FLAM emphasizes experimentation and artistic research, presenting live performances, video installations, and interactive workshops. This edition also features a discussion with the Kunstenbond on the future of the arts under the newly installed Dutch right-wing government.
