Vier Muren
Bizarre musical mix of hip-hop mantras, slam choruses, screeching guitars, banging drums and freestyle prophecies
Marios Bellas (NL/GR)
Vier Muren (Four Walls) is an immersive, boundary-pushing musical performance in which the audience becomes part of an intense hip-hop ritual. In a world turned upside down by change and conflict, we mourn what is lost, celebrate what is new, and search for a deeper connection between past and future.
With a unique and immersive musical mix – from slam choirs and mantra singing to konakkol (Indian drum language) and instruments such as the darbuka, didgeridoo and bouzouki – an experience is created that brings together music, words and movement in a way you won’t find anywhere else. From Rage Against the Machine-like energy to subdued moments of reflection,
Vier Muren takes you on a journey of emotions. This performance calls for reflection and invites the audience to action: how can we honour the past while embracing the future? What do we want to preserve for generations to come? And how do we break free from the walls – literally and figuratively – that imprison us, or that we have built ourselves?
Vier Muren is more than a performance; it is a ritual in which we come together to mourn, celebrate, and dream. A call for empathy, collaboration and hope. A place where the audience is not just a spectator, but plays a crucial role in the story. Connect, be touched and experience a unique encounter between generations, traditions and future. Together, we form a circle, a space where past and future meet.
Vier Muren shows that change is not only about letting go, but also about cherishing what is important.
“Marios Bellas captures the unique vibe of hyper-diverse cities like Brussels and Rotterdam. This circle is energetic and powerful: a group of extraordinary artists you don’t want to miss!” – Hans Blik, business director O.
