Shakespeare lives and comes from Utrecht

The less real theatre is, the better it works. That insight dawned on me again this weekend, in Utrecht's Stadsschouwburg. Twice, in fact. Friday with the reprise of Aluin's Twelfth Night, Saturday with Koning Krump, the masterpiece by Het Nut. Two Utrecht groups, once sprung from the same theatre school, and drunk in the same theatre cafe, where...

Rent increase for Utrecht music teachers raises questions

Thirty-five euros an hour for a space that can just fit a piano or a drum kit. That is the rent charged by the municipality of Utrecht to music teachers who wanted to continue their practice on Utrecht's Domplein after their cooperative went bankrupt. For many of the teachers who thus became victims of their board's mismanagement, that means a cost increase

Important things happened in Utrecht during Gaudeamus Festival 2024 

On Saturday, I caught myself having a wonderfully sexist thought. Not surprising, probably, as sexist thoughts appear to be in the standard package of the product 'man'. But there I was, sitting in a not so very full auditorium during the Gaudeamus Festival at For Real by Andrea Voets. There, the idea struck me that it was pretty weird to see a woman concentrated...

What They in Weimar can learn from We in Rotterdam

'Plattenbau,' the driver says with some horror as we pass some boarded-up concrete porch flats. The GDR-built flats are in Alt Schöndorf, two kilometres outside Weimar's historic centre. Nailed shut for years, and squatters didn't look after them either. A hated legacy, but more by the West than the East. The... 

Calderon's truth is a dead cow

Wat is de overeenkomst tussen een reggaetonbandje, twee pizzabezorgers, een slager, een talkshowhost met neanderthaler-DNA, het Vietnamese Rode Leger en een Chinese universiteit? In de verbeelding van Guillermo Calderon: een koe. De Chileense theatermaker en auteur is inmiddels een beroemdheid in het internationale theater en toert sinds afgelopen zondag door Europa.  Althans: of hij er zelf bij is, weten we…

ITA breaks with Ivo van Hove

The management of ITA (International Theatre Amsterdam) is terminating its collaboration with Ivo van Hove with immediate effect.
