About
In this multidisciplinary performance, weaving together song, movement and text, Ahmad Mallah and Rebecca Lillich // Krüger invite audiences to witness a eulogy for the future.
Drawing on the Arabic children’s bedtime song Yalla Tnam, immortalised by the iconic Lebanese singer Fairuz, and blending it with grief rituals from the Syrian Revolution, the work unfolds as a moving meditation on care, loss, and remembrance.
Through it, the artists explore their converging and conflicting relationships to heritage, belonging, and displacement, reflecting on the distinct trajectories of their migration experiences and their shared present in the Netherlands.
Shared Bio
Ahmad Mallah & Rebecca Lillich // Krüger are an Amsterdam-based performance duo intersecting the personal and political, performing open symbols to generate reflection, introspection and connection.
Their debut works The Ladder (2023) and The Price of Bricks (2024) utilize singular objects through multiple mediums as action-based performance art happenings.
Their new works, pulling blood from stone (2025) and Yalla Tnam (2026), dive into surrealism and heteronormativity through song, gesture and costume as an evolution of their process.
The duo has performed at Oerol Festival (Terschelling NL), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam NL),
Sismógraf Festival (Olot ES), and Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam NL), among others, and
recently presented their first full-length exhibition following a residency at Nieuwe Vide (Haarlem NL).
