Faces in shop windows: the OCC exhibition hall meets Amsterdam’s Red Light District. How does it all connect with what the group is about to play? Who is this mysterious Hamm? The connecting tissue is the poetry of Samuel Beckett and Miltos Sachtouris, which has been a staple in Michalis Siganidis’ work for years.

Siganidis, one of the most idiosyncratic musicians of the Greek scene, absolutely individual and consistent, comes to the OCC with an audio-visual installation, with the participation of friends and partners with whom he goes back a long way. Evan Parker, an emblematic sax player of contemporary jazz, joins them in a surprise guest appearance.

The audience will move freely among the musicians, impacting on the sound and aesthetics.
