OTION returns to Felix Meritis with the third part of W.A.V.E: Making the Wave, an immersive performance series exploring the invisible forces that connect sound, body, and space. Through sound, movement, and ritual storytelling, OTION transforms live music into a fully spatial experience, where sound is not just heard, but physically felt.

The series unfolds in three chapters: Floating on the WAVE, Riding the WAVE, and Making the WAVE, each offering a distinct atmosphere within a continuous journey. Together with a sound artist and dancer, OTION activates three essential elements: space, voice, and body, guiding audiences along a path from listening, to embodiment, to creation; from surrender, to safety, to play.

Beginning with vibration as sound moving through space, shifting into vibration as sensation within the body and beyond, W.A.V.E explores how stillness, presence, sound, voice, song, movement, and dance shape both individual and collective experience. Join us on October 3rd and step into OTION’s inner landscape, where vibration becomes a shared language and performance transforms into a living field. After the performance, join the After WAVE to relax, enjoy drinks, and dance to our live DJ. Whether or not you joined the first wave, you’re welcome in the second.

LINE-UP

OTION

OTION (Guillermo Armand Blinker) - Theo d’Or (VSCD) and Amsterdam Art Award (AFK) nominee (2024) Designer Award (VSCD) nominee 2025 – is a multidisciplinary artist who works with vibration as material. Through sound, movement, and ritual storytelling, OTION creates immersive experiences that attune bodies, spaces, and communities to one another.

Water is both source and guide in OTION’s practice, a living metaphor for continuity, memory, and transformation. Like water, his work moves between states: sonic, physical, spiritual. It flows through liminal spaces where identity softens, time expands, and new ways of being become possible.

Rooted in a background of choreography, dance, songwriting, and composition, OTION composes environments rather than performances. Harmonized, loop-based vocals form dense soundscapes. These vibrating layers carry the audience into ceremonial states, where movement, breath, and listening become acts of collective tuning.

OTION’s poetic lyricism weaves themes of transformation, spiritual connection, and a queer way of sensing the world. His work does not aim to be consumed, but entered: a shared frequency where personal and collective healing can unfold.
