A monumental live performance of Hildur Guðnadóttirs Emmy Award–winning score for the iconic HBO-series Chernobyl. In Gashouder at Amsterdam’s Westergas, the human dimension of this historical event comes vividly to life in an immersive, large-scale experience – a rare opportunity to experience Guðnadóttir’s music in its full physical force.
For the series – written by Craig Mazin and directed by Johan Renck – Guðnadóttir built her score almost entirely from recordings made inside the abandoned Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania, where the show was filmed. Metallic drones, low industrial rumbles, and layered factory sounds form a dense, slowly shifting soundscape charged with tension. The dynamic live performance by Guðnadóttir and her artistic team is preceded and followed by short performances from the Groot Omroepkoor, featuring music heard in the series as well as other works by Guðnadóttir and David Lang. The carefully designed lighting by Theresa Baumgartner amplifies the intensity of the space, sculpting the iconic industrial architecture in shadow and light.
