Open Call: STRP x Max Frimout 2025


STRP and Max Frimout are joining forces to open a space for young creatives to produce three evenings of live experimentation. These nights will bring music, performance, visuals, and space into unexpected dialogue.

Are you a young artist, designer, performer, or maker ready to reimagine what an art night can be? This is your chance to experiment at the intersection of sound, image, and performance, and to co-create events where the lines between artist and audience blur.

Over six months, you’ll work side-by-side with Max Frimout and the STRP team to design, program, and activate three unique evenings where sound, image, movement, and audience converge. From intimate performances to high-energy moments, you’ll shape everything, from concept to line-up to audience experience.


Listening in Motion

What happens when disciplines collide and the separation between artist and audience disappears?

This project explores art nights as total experiences. Environments where music, movement, light, and space resonate with and transform each other.

To explore this, STRP is collaborating with sound artist Max Frimout as co-creator and coach. Known for working with modular synthesizers and creating multidisciplinary performances, Max invites participants into his process to experiment with formats, energy, and audience engagement. Over six months, you will explore how performance can shift from something we watch into something we step inside.
