The three of them are back together in the office for the first time since the lockdown on 13 March. The interview, in which director Emily Ansenk, music programmer Jochem Valkenburg and theatre programmer Annemieke Keurentjes take stock of the first - and hopefully only - online edition of the country's most prestigious performing arts festival, takes place a day after the lockdown.
There was no after-party for the staff, no looking back on festive evenings in Carré, the Stadsschouwburg or the Concertgebouw. And neither were Annemieke Keurentjes and Jochem Valkenburg on the train the next morning on their way to a performance they wanted to book for next year.
Podcast
Everything is different, this edition. We talk about it and they tell us what they have learned, and what - if anything - they will take with them to future editions. In any case, what will they take with them? 'The Podcast,' says Annemiek Keurentjes: 'The podcast we made together with the Groene Amsterdammer was the perfect mood introduction to the festival. We will definitely continue with that next year.'
Therefore now, in a slightly more prinitiver setting, sound (which we'll call and podcast, but is mainly a recording: the conversation in a silent office of the Holland Festival. With 8D effect, though. Sort of.
