On October 2, 3, and 4, 2026, the Murf/Murw festival in Tilburg will once again eagerly serve as the sticky bar table where obscure, multidisciplinary, experimental encounters can dance wildly and freely. The festival will present more than 80 subversive screenings and performances spanning music, visual arts, performance art, and film from both the Netherlands and abroad.
What's on view at Kunstpodium T:
In our art space, installation and performance artist Amos Peled explores the ever-changing relationships between humans and machines, pain as a poetic message, and the often-neglected emotional dimensions in the application of medical technology. Inspired by his own frequent hospital visits, Peled reinterprets medical elements and concepts as expressive, performative tools in the multimedia installation “Operation Theater,” using a playful and speculative approach.
The exhibition runs from September 30 through October 4. So you can get in the mood a few days before the festival begins.
Where else?
This year, Murf/Murw will once again meet the public at the well-known cultural venues in the city center. In addition to Kunstpodium T, the festival is also partnering with venues such as: De Nieuwe Vorst, NS16, Schouwburg, Cinecitta, Hall of Fame, Little Devil, Paradox, and—for the first time—the Pauluskerk and the Harmonie.
