GASP
19:30–20:00 & 21:30–22:00
Performance + after talk · English
GASP is a physical and vocal performance by Diane Mahín built around a simple act: inhaling. Five figures breathe in, but never exhale. Words, sounds and actions remain trapped inside. During Museumnacht, a work-in-process fragment of the performance will be presented, followed by an after talk exploring breath, tension and bodily presence.
Harsh and Perfect and Round
20:45–20:55
Performance · English
Harsh and Perfect and Round is a short, poetic performance bringing together movement, music and text. Annakha Flos and Amos Ben-Tal bring movement, music and text together in an open space. Words, gestures and sounds initially exist separately, before gradually gathering and connecting in a small, attentive interplay between body, voice and sound.
Loops – repetitive, but never the same
23:00–00:00
Continuous performance · English
Everything moves in circles. It returns, but never quite as it was before. Sietse Iedema and Malte Burmester explore repetition through a long strand of magnetic tape and recordings that slowly fade and distort. A minimalist improvisation unfolds through sound, movement and the strange worlds that emerge in your mind.

Diane Mahín performance is a Bau AIR The Grey Space production. BAU and The Grey Space collaborate once a year in a curated residency. The organizations invite an eye-catching maker who moves at the interface of performance and visual art, This resident will have the ability to work in both Amsterdam and The Hague and relate to the arts field and audience there.
Both work periods conclude with a presentation to share how the research is developing. Mahín presented at the Bau studio on May 29, 2026.
