Podcast cultuupers tijdens Corona: blijf langer dan drie seconden stilstaan bij het werk van Emile Waagenaar. Plek zat.
(Volume podcast gecorrigeerd) Deze crisis zal het verdwijnen van kleine winkels, gerund door kleine zelfstandigen, versnellen. Al zou het mooi zijn wanneer acties om juist dáár je boodschappen te doen iets uitmaken, de concurrentie met het gigantische aanbod van de grote online ketens is bijna niet te doen. Daarom moeten we ze koesteren zolang ze er nog zijn. En niet…

Tryptich by Bryce Dessner is just a little too perfect to really hit home
The Americans have a word for it: production value. By this you can indicate that a performance is technically perfect. The sound is right, the stage setting is excellent, the costumes are all right, the lighting brilliant and the actors, singers and musicians: top notch. Even the extras are at their best. So a show with high production value can rely on little...
