Two Albums, One Night – A Double Showcase of Sound & Storytelling

ACU, Voorstraat 71, Utrecht
Friday, May 16, 2025 | Doors: 20:00 | Tickets: €10

20:30 – Vasilis Papadopoulos & Andrea Cabezuelo
21:30 – Transparent Man

Transparent Man brings his LP Puppets to life in a one-night-only audiovisual performance at Vincent Hall.
Joined by a small ensemble of live drums, cello, saxophone, and electronics, this intimate set reimagines downtempo electronica through the raw energy of acoustic instruments and emotional storytelling.
“Puppets” is inspired by the untold stories of those who are forced to suppress their emotions, driven either by their social environment or their own thoughts, ultimately acting like “Puppets”, pulled away from who they truly wish to be.
Balancing atmospheric textures with emotional intensity, the album blends synths and groove-driven beats with the orchestral beauty of strings and brass. “Puppets” presents the most complete and authentic version of Transparent Man to date.
In its second week of release, Puppets reached the top spot in Bandcamp’s “New & Notable” section!

Contemporary Mediterranean Jazz Rock: Fragile vocal lines dressed with a jazz
aesthetic and eastern Mediterranean ornaments outlining the sociopolitical
lyrics against the apathy of the West, the horrors of war, the destruction of
simplicity and tenderness. Compositions that remind you of Silvana Estrada
and Jose Gonzalez with a more jazz rock attitude and shifted to the
Meditteranean traditions and ways of expression.
That is the Vasilis Papadopoulos and Andrea Cabezuelo ensamble.
