CAN REON Festival 2024

Clara Peya (Spain)

Clara Peya is considered one of the most important Catalan pianists. Restless, visceral and transcendent, she flees from clichés. She believes in the power of art as a tool of social transformation.

IO (Spain)

Percussionist Aleix Tobias presents IO, a new project developed with Karen Lugo, Momi Maiga, Guillem Aguilar and Carles Dénia. Several music genres come together: flamengo, jazz, the traditional music of the Iberian Penninsula, West Africa and Latin America into real contemporary music.

b1n0 (Spain)

Barcelona electronic music duo b1n0 meanders between ones and zeros, fusing electronic experimentation with pop delicacy. We find all kinds of instruments combined with the sounds produced by different everyday objects.

Gregotechno (Spain)

Barcelona based Grecotechno promises ‘festive transcendence’ created by the repetition of Gregorian chant, the cyclical pulses of electronic music and visuals of the dynamic structures of microcosmos. Their performance will be anticipating their new album.

Jero Castella (Spain)

Jero is a Catalan singer, guitarist, and Chapman Stick performer. At the festival we will enjoy his side as a stick player and experience the sound of the 12 strings of this very special instrument, combined with his sets of vocal loops.

Panama Pictures (Netherlands)

The dancers and acrobats of Panama Pictures push the boundaries of what is possible. Award winning choreographer Pia Meuthen develops an authentic signature: unpolished and raw, where dance, circus and music flow into each other.

Maurice Scheltens & Bertjan Pot (Netherlands)

If it is windy Maurice Scheltens and Bertjan Pot will fly their amazing kites on the festival. For them, the best thing about making kites is the materialization of an idea:: “Just like any work of art, we want to hang on the highest nail and show to everybody. For a kite this is not in the ‘white cube’, but in the ‘blue sky”.

Cristina Lucas (Spain)

In her video ‘Cobalt’, Cristina Lucas explores the connection between cobalt in art, the body and the energy transition. In art history Cobalt blue is a cherished and meaningful colour. Cobalt is also an essential element for the human body and indispensable in the current trajectory of the energy transition.

Jan Robert Leegte (Netherlands)

Watching the vídeo installation of Jan Robert Leegte we are overwhelmed by the force of a simulated landscape. The storm can be heard sweeping through the trees as well as the roar of the ocean. Various screens and projections offer fragmented views of a natural scene.

Margriet van Breevoort (Netherlands)

Margriet van Breevoort traverses a delicate line between the extraordinary and the unimaginable. The boundaries that once separated animals, human-made objects, and humans themselves are becoming increasingly blurred. Human skin becomes an object, animals become human.

Jacco Olivier (Netherlands)

Jacco Olivier fuses painting and filmmaking by repeatedly reworking paintings in casual brush strokes and systematically photographing each development. The various stages are combined into projected animations which are imagined as windows onto converging, and often elegantly simple, moments of daily life.

Lucía Galdana? (Spain)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas volutpat non risus id tristique. Curabitur ultricies accumsan ligula, sit amet scelerisque mi. Morbi aliquam pretium venenatis.

Nina Backman & Sami Tallberg (Finland)

Imagine a meal in silenci in the middle of nature. Artist Nina Backman presents her participatory performance Silence Meal on the festival. She invites guests at her table for a four course lunch in silence, surrounded by nature. The lunch will be prepared by award-winning chef Sami Tallberg, who is specialized in locally foraged wild food.
