Stroom Den Haag invites The Hague-based artist and composer Torus, the alias of multidisciplinary artist Joeri Woudstra, to give a special performance on Saturday 20 June 2026. Taking place within monumental land art work Celestial Vault in Kijkduin by James Turrell, the event will presage summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
Timed to coincide with the sunset, Torus will perform his acclaimed 2025 album Summer of Love. It is a homecoming performance of an album which has toured across Europe, North America, and Japan, unfolding through immersive ambient compositions that invite deep listening.
The final performance in the album’s year-long run, the event creates a unique encounter between Torus’ world and James Turrell’s iconic skyspace. In the middle of the dunes, where light has a tangible presence, Celestial Vault takes shape as a massive crater where people are invited to gaze at the sky. Music, ritual, architecture, light, and landscape coalesce under the changing skies of summer solstice, the earth’s annual brightest rotation around its axis.
The event is organised in conjunction with the exhibition ⌀ [dia] by Ana María Gómez López, presented at Stroom Den Haag from 29 May through 26 July 2026.The contemplative qualities of Summer of Love resonate closely with ⌀ [dia], extending the exhibition’s exploration of the interconnectedness between human bodies and cosmic systems.
Vinyl editions of Summer of Love will be available in Stroom’s book shop.
