Art is our first language. Even while we are closed for renovations, our programming continues. You will find our art programmes at off-site locations throughout the year and on the digital platform The Couch. The permanent installations in Het HEM will remain open to the public after the renovation.
Our music programme focuses on experimental ways of making, presenting and experiencing sound in the building through listening sessions, live performances and musical artist-in-residence programmes. During renovations, we organise music programmes at off-site locations and on the digital platform The Couch.
Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection.
The building's industrial design and our experimental art programme bring ambience and meaning to every event.
Situated in a former munitions factory, Het HEM is a new home for contemporary culture.
During the Holland Festival the world premiere of Fremdkörper will be showcased in Het HEM; a performance executed by the performance duo Suzan Boogaerdt and Bianca van der Schoot. The installation will be available from Saturday 5th of July on.
The duo invites the audience into a dormitory for a ceremony inspired by ritualistic sleeping temples of ancient Greek scholars. The visitor's exploration goes mainly inside, to a dreamed reality.
Fremdkörper is a co-production of BVDS, Holland Festival and Theater Rotterdam.
Book your tickets here to see the performance.
