Rewire x Korzo #24: Eli Keszler, Nadah El Shazly, Perforator

Friday 21 November 2025 — 20:15

After two years, Rewire happily announces the long-awaited return of the Rewire x Korzo concert series, with two nights taking place in October and November in The Hague.

Rewire x Korzo #24:
Eli Keszler, Nadah El Shazly, Perforator
Venue: Korzo (Prinsestraat 42, The Hague)
Friday 21 November, 2025
Start: 20.15hr


Grammy-nominated composer and percussionist Eli Keszler's eponymous third album released last month; its smoky Lynchian songs bristle with electricity and dark currents. In his jazzy, cinematic songs, echoing chasmic spaces are filled with skittering drums and dubbed-out textures – projecting a flickering noir scene into listeners' imaginations. His music moves with the quaking sense of atmosphere and experimentation one might expect from someone who has collaborated with Oneohtrix Point Never and Laurel Halo.

Renowned for her blending of experimental sounds with traditional Arabic influences and improvisational styles, Nadah El Shazly's mesmerising vocals and avant-garde arrangements defy genres. Her latest album Laini Tani was released earlier this month – on it, vivid percussion and ethereal melodies intertwine with acoustic and electronic instruments to build an expansive singular sound. The Egyptian-born, Montreal-based producer, vocalist, composer, and actor graced the stage of Rewire 2023 in collaboration with Elvin Brandhi. Rewire is excited to invite her back to perform her deep songs, brimming with euphoria, vibrancy, and mystery. She will perform in a duo accompanied by 3Phaz.


Last but not least, Perforator is an experimental ensemble formed by Kayva van Gangelen – a member of Berlin ensemble s t a r g a z e – and run with sound artist Akim Moiseenkov. At Rewire x Korzo, they present Lijf, a new solo performance which transforms the body into an instrument of sound and memory through a special worn instrument. It explores how the body registers and recalls lived experience – physically, emotionally, and sonically. The performance team includes director Marijn van der Jagt, composer Bec Plexus (one half of No Plexus), scenographer Catharina Scholten, costume designer Sanne Lips, and creative technologist Fedde ten Berge.
