M ALBERTO: HIGH FLYING PARK 2026 in Amsterdam – Bimhuis

What is M ALBERTO: HIGH FLYING PARK?

On stage, M will explore new poems and compositions with a three-headed beast voiced by vocalists Shara Lunon, Claron McFadden and M ALBERTO, backed by mallet percussion, saxophone and electronics. Channelling the generative resilience of Curaçao, the DIY spirit of New York counter-culture and the Sisyphean persistence of Amsterdam squatters, through a patchwork of rap, opera, ‘minimal’, chamber music, electronic and Black improvised music. M ALBERTO is an artist born in Curaçao and currently based in Amsterdam. M works on both sides of the Atlantic: as a poet, composer, arranger, saxophonist and maker of documentary theatre and essay performances. These are based on untold stories of resistance collected all over the world. HIGH FLYING PARK is named after a practice of creative rebellious youth in Curaçao, fifty years ago. When, in response to a lack of accessible community space for sharing life and art, the youth built their own colourful, temporary, free spaces on empty, unused lots. These High-Flying Parks are long gone, but their legacy persists.
