On June 7 Helicopter will show works at Kaderock Festival, at Musicon Den Haag. This year Kaderock presents a new stage: De Broeikas. This transparent tent, that functions as a living laboratorium, is the result of a collaboration between The Hague art and music collectives Helicopter, iii and New Space Studio. Sound performances, visual art and technology merge into a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’, in which connecting and improvisation are central.

The theme this year is ‘Work in Progress’, ode to the experiment and the creative process. In De Broeikas it’s not about the perfect end result, but about the creation of art and music in the moment. Artists perform from scaffolds of different heights and invite you to experience the process of creation. Music, movement, sound and image merge in an open working space, in which even the audience is invited to participate.

Exhilarating Feedback Fiesta

Aart-Jan Schakenbos, Arvind Ganga en Paddy Mans draaien ieder al bijna een kwart eeuw mee in de underground, noise en diy scene. Nu slaan ze voor het eerst de handen ineen. Ze genereren alle drie feedback, die tegen elkaar in botst, versmelt, resoneert, waardoor patronen en melodieën ontstaan die ze zelf nooit hadden kunnen bedenken. Een lekkere bak herrie die verrast en verwart!

Are We There Yet?

Chandana Sarma and Lam Lai collaborate across sound, movement, and space, drawing from nature, somatics, and the body’s deep presence. Together, they create performances that weave landscapes of music and physical storytelling.

Chandana Sarma is an independent performer and facilitator with a background in physical theater, instant composition, and somatics. Her work explores the limits of the body as an instrument, focusing on performance presence and the visual expression of felt sensations. Lam Lai works with sound, music and space, often drawing inspiration from nature, particularly the vast spaciousness of landscapes. Her work immerses the listener in a variety of synth sounds, exploring the intersection between analogue and digital worlds.
