VIER MUREN. The old world is coming to an end. The new one is at the door. All over the world, conflicts are raging and people are trying to break free from old structures or return to them. A portion of people cling frenetically to the old and resist any change out of fear and anger. Another group looks forward, but seems to forget the good from the past. VIER MUREN is a hip-hop ritual that creates space for the anger, fear, mourning, celebration and hope that comes with the loss of an old world and the welcoming of an unknown future. A bizarre musical mix of hip-hop mantras, slam choruses, screeching guitars, banging drums and freestyle prophecies.

Marios Bellas is a playwright, performer and musician. After graduating from directing school (2021, RITCS), he starred in EXTREME / MALECANE (Paola Pisciottano/Théâtre National), Hannibal (KVS) and Burning City (HETPALEIS), among others. In 2022, he connected with multidisciplinary collective SOCHA, with which he co-founded the #ON FIRE series (theater arsenal) as a musician, creator and performer.

In March 2025, he released his debut album Hunger released. In doing so, he undoubtedly brought a new sound to the Dutch-language hip-hop scene. Powerful storytelling, political engagement and deeply personal statements are supported by a wide range of instrumentals.
