Terrapolis: a fictional world in which borders, relationships and connections are constantly changing and being discussed. It is under this name that we have started a new concert series this year in the Werkspoorkwartier district of Utrecht – an area that is itself in a constant state of development. Here, during the festival weekend, we will present two days of musical performances that redefine the idea of what a musical performance can be and can signify.
