An exclusive project, as the result will only be shown on big screen during VIDEODROOM. Moreover, the number of seats is limited to 200, so be sure to be there!

ABOUT THE BAND

Belgian five-piece Whispering Sons brings a unique, dark mix of experimental post-punk. The driving instruments, combined with frontwoman Fenne Kuppens' deep voice, create an uneasy feeling - a feeling that has characterized their music since the early years. Thanks to their energetic shows, the band has established a solid live reputation.

For VIDEODROOM, Whispering Sons is taking a bit of a step back, working with Brussels-based director-cinematographer Heleen Declercq to create a performance in which image and music flow seamlessly together. Expect an intimate showcase of new music as a foretaste of what is yet to come.  

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Brussels-based director-cinematographer Heleen Declercq focuses on connection. She portrays the sensitivity of those in front of her lens through music and sound - two components that occupy a special place, as evidenced by the videos she has already made for Pregnant Guy, Chibi Ichigo and DVTCH NORRIS. Her work is characterized by a documentary style.
