The first half of the Holland Festival is pretty much over, so time for Team Culture Press to take a look at what that first half has brought us. A lot, according to Helen Westerik and Wijbrand Schaap, and also many real highlights. 'Perhaps the best edition in years.'

Among other things, we discuss the intimate installation 'Evolution of Fearlessness', look back at Euphoria and Angela, but also see lines running. Wijbrand calls this festival a very 'feminine' festival, with a particular focus on women who are no longer part of the youngest tiktok or instagram generation. Helen adds that the role of trans women in this cannot be discounted.

Listen in to a fine conversation on a warm terrace.
