‘FLAM Amsterdam’
Flam is a festival for Live Art in Amsterdam. The trigger for setting up such manifestation was the success both artists reached with the performance art program ‘Between Heaven and Earth’, in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, as part of the Museumnacht 2010.
Based on this experiences and anticipating already then, the potential grow of hybrid performances and art works based on the cross-fertilisation between disciplines, they started with a pilot event at Arti et Amicitiae art spaces. FLAM became the first recurrent festival happening in gallery spaces in the Netherlands, dedicated to live art as a genre which is not tied to a discipline or conventional relations of duration, public and space.

The need of a platform exclusively devoted to performance art as an independent art form was the essential reason for the creation of FLAM. The multiplication of hybrid art works aiming to reach an audience in the last decade shows that such a platform continue to be urgent and relevant for the sustainability of this field. The mission is offering space for artists to dare experiment and exercise autonomy, showing works which emerge from intrinsic research and act independent of current trends.
