on friday 18, saturday 19 and sunday 20 march 2022, ocw – rotterdam stage for small-scale events – anticipates the astronomical spring with the triptych POSTCORONALSPRING: a music festival, that will light up in the 'oude westen' on three successive evenings after twilight has set in
the program features:
• FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2022, START 20:30 hrs: CANTOS DEUS
CANTOS DEUS [rotterdam] is a cooperation between theologist/performer jacco weener and rotterdam underground musicians bruno ferro xavier da silva and lukas simonis. _their concept is based on the historical and societal theme of 'christian anarchism'. _as a trio they attempt to make a statement about the language and musical expression of christian sects in the usa that seem to be winning grounds in europe as wel. _cantos deus here offers their answer, using a different form of aesthetics…
• SATURDAY MARCH 19, 2022, START 20:30 hrs: HENRIETTA MÜLLER + ANA BRUMAT & ROWAN VAN AS + ANNE KOLBE

ROWAN VAN AS & ANNE KOLBE: anne and rowan (rotterdam) make pop smash hits with an educational slant. _their first song is an epic love song about photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that makes life possible for all of us
• SUNDAY MARCH 20, 2022, START 20:30 hrs: TISA NEZA HERLEC & SECLUDED BRONTE
TISA NEZA HERLEC [rotterdam] communicates, organizes, writes, performs and creates imaginaries (with sound, voice, in texts and images). _collaboration, processuality and the friction between structures ignite her inspiration. _she is a thinker and a practitioner of the praxis of improvisation, exploring its emancipatory potentials. _she obtained her masters diploma in experimental publishing at piet zwart institute in rotterdam, and her bachelor in painting at the ALUO in ljubljana
SECLUDED BRONTE [gb] are a multi-faceted experimental trio whose work embraces scrapheap musique concrète, clattering post-punk, spoken word, poetry, improvisation and more. _assembled as the synchronisation of pre-recorded passages and live performance, their suites of perfectly planned mischief slip and slide between the physical and metaphysical, pathos and alien-abstraction, wry humour and obscenity - relishing in awkward dualities and eccentric imbalances. _tuneful ditties emerge before switching frame to an aural car crash. _shared refrains and in-jokes are unveiled, then jump gear to Morricone-soundtracked car-chases. _listen closely, arrange the junk and unpack the mystery
SECLUDED BRONTE are:
adam bohman - voice, home made string instruments, objects
jonathan bohman - voice, piano, electronics, objects, percussion
richard thomas - voice, guitars, bass, piano, synthesizers, harmonica, computer, drum machine, percussion, telephone
