This included Dan Brown's Angels & Demons series, the fourth part of which was recently filmed. Director Ron Howard, however, addressed the ethical issue with which the book ends...

Vol religieuze inspiratie schreef Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) het oratorium Die Schöpfung, zijn beroemde muzikale lofzang op het Bijbelse scheppingsverhaal. De Berlijnse kunstenaar Julian Rosefeldt (1965) reflecteert op Haydns meesterwerk met een esthetische film die toont hoe de mens de wereld naar zijn hand zet. Tijdens het Holland Festival is deze film vertoond bij een live uitvoering van de muziek door Collegium Vocale Gent en barokorkest B’Rock onder leiding van dirigent René Jacobs. Kreeg Die Schöpfung een extra lading door deze film, die grotendeels bestaat uit mensen in witte pakken die rondlopen door zanderige landschappen?

The Holland Festival, under the new leadership of Ruth MacKenzie, is catching us up. She is bringing events here where the boundaries between visual art, performance, video, film and performing arts can no longer be drawn. Events that generate meaning in ways that are quite new to us, such as The Encounter, last week, and Gardens Speak, later this week.
