Thin Wall Symphony

Thin Wall Symphony is an open-air musical performance inspired by living in buildings where the sound of the neighbours is ever present. The performance takes place on the Zuiderzeeweg student housing site (ZZW) on Zeeburgereiland: you are all welcome!

On ZZW, 242 students live in temporary residences of the former Asylum seekers’ center (AZC). Built originally as an AZC, no money was spent on comfort and privacy. Houses are cheaply built, making the presence of fellow residents an inescapable fact and the sounds of the lives of others inevitable.

Surrounded by water and bridges, tram line 26 forms the umbilical cord that connects ZZW to the city. The Thin Wall Symphony is performed in sync with the coming and going of the tram at the adjacent stop: Line 26 conducts the Thin Wall Symphony.

Thin Wall Symphony is part of The Windy Wooh!, a project by Sylvie Zijlmans & Hewald Jongenelis.
