City of the Blind is ethical research and sensory experience in one

An old man strolls into the hospital ward with a transistor radio. 'Where did you go blind?' the blind people already present ask the newcomer. 'In a museum,' he replies. A moving conversation then unfolds about what was the last painting he saw, and the possibilities are projected onto the wafer-thin canvas that separates the audience from the sick room. This tot...

The 10 theatre performances you actually wanted to see in 2014, even if you had to leave Amsterdam for half of them

It's raining annual lists and we're merrily joining in. As subjective as anyone, after all, no one sees everything, and opinions on taste can always differ. Of course, also in this list many performances in or from the Randstad, but half of them were not yet shown there. And all genres mixed together. As long as it is theatre. With the only limitation: no repeats, apologies Ring and Lohengrin (DNO), St John Passion (NRO). And no dance, because for that our partner dance audience

Joop Daalmeijer Marathon (6): 'The Rijksakademie will go to pieces if we don't intervene'

Wijbrand Schaap: ‘De basisinfrastructuur is door Zijlstra gekilld terwijl die nog niet rijp was. Die loopt nu in zijn kleinere variant het risico om tot verdere verstarring te leiden.’ Marathon-interviewNaar aanleiding van de ophef rond Melle Daamens opiniestuk over het kunstbeleid zijn we uitgenodigd voor een ‘gesprek over alles’ met Joop Daalmeijer, voorzitter van de Raad voor Cultuur. Het gesprek… 

Hearing stories of loss. And cry about it. But then? Separate from the Southern Theatre on @tfboulevard.

Two actors who, together with their director, want to create a performance about loss. Or rather: our fear of losing things, or people. The makers are not quite there yet, it turns out at Theatre Festival Boulevard. From numerous conversations with thinkers and (experiential) experts, they have distilled characters while improvising, which they - separated by a thick...

10 per cent less ticket sales, but Festival Boulevard is still satisfied.

Festival Boulevard in Den Bosch sold 55,000 tickets this year, 5,000 less than in 2012. The festival, which this year was held from 1 to 11 August, did attract more crowds for the free offerings on the festival square. This brought the total number of visitors to the festival this year to 145,000, 5,000 more than in 2012. As the venue occupancy is still nice at 85%, the drop in ticket sales will mainly be due to a smaller offer of performances.
In 2012 kromp het fe...

Baldwin Live

Woensdag 1 augustus 2012 maakt het Fonds Podiumkunsten de uitslag bekend van de loterij die het verlenen van subsidie aan kunst inmiddels is geworden. Er dreigen enorme kortingen: gezelschappen en makers die inmiddels vast onderdeel leken uit te maken van het Nederlandse kunstlandschap zullen verdwijnen. Hoe het er precies uit gaat zien, weten we officieel dus pas vanaf 12:00 uur woensdag 1 augustus. Om zaken vooraf te lekken heeft geen zin, daarvoor is de boel te dramatisch.
Wat we wel willen d...

Trouwe festivalganger laat zijn festival niet in het water vallen

Foto: Erik van 't Hof Regen, regen, regen. Dat ziet er slecht uit voor de festivals. Toch? “Het weer is minder van invloed op een festival dan men denkt”, zegt Mark Hospers van Noorderzon. En zij kunnen het weten. Vorig jaar hebben ze veel regen gehad, en tegelijkertijd een recordaantal kaarten verkocht. Hoe kan het dat het slechte weer de… 

Getting a whiff of Lotte van den Berg's special approach, fresh back from Africa

What she does is vulnerable to the point of confrontation. Theatre-maker Lotte van den Berg has such a personal view of the world that, outside the safe context of theatre, it can come across as absurd. Or alienating. On Sunday 26 September, she returned with the members of her Dordrecht-based location theatre company OMSK back from a four-month stay in the Congo capital Kinshasa. A full house at Rotterdam's Gouvernestraat then got to be there when they unpacked their bags a few hours after landing.
