Route: Nighthawks

For night owls and curious wanderers, the Nighthawks route offers a deep dive into the festival’s after-hours world. From intimate late-night performances to boundary-pushing pop-up events, this route guides you through encounters and experiences that bring the night to life. Expect a dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation, where dance, music, and visual arts meet.

 

Enjoy improvisations of master pianist Craig Taborn, experience collective creation in Welcome to a Night in Asbestos Hall, and celebrate the music of five African countries – Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, São Tomé & Príncipe, and the Comoros – along with Suriname, in Africadelic. 

 

From the quiet intensity of Kawaguchi’s Eat Chalk to Marc Vanrunxt’s spontaneous performance (based on a true story), this route is for those who don’t go home when the lights go down.
