Hard, fast, and furious: the sound, aesthetics and choreography of gabber come to life on stage

In 2017, Alberto Guerrini created Gabber Eleganza as a digital archive to document his love of the gabber subculture. A youth movement that originated in the Netherlands in the early 90s before reaching the mainstream, gabber combined intense, high-bpm hardcore music with a unique aesthetic that drew from punk, futurism, and street style. 

 

Now a multidisciplinary platform encompassing art, fashion, and music, Gabber Eleganza (and the associated Never Sleep label), is where Guerrini joins the dots - both sonically and aesthetically - between hardcore, post-rave movements, and contemporary culture. ‘The Hakke Show’ is maybe his defining artistic statement to date: a gabber set featuring a group of hakke dancers who bring the classic high energy gabber dance style to life on stage. After blowing the Sónar by Day audience away in Barcelona in 2024, they’re bringing this very special show to Lisbon. Get ready to sweat.
