For a while, corona seemed to throw a spanner in the works, but thanks to the flexibility of the makers, speakers and artists as well as the crew, we recorded the Night Mass coronaproof. With extra intimate footage and beautiful atmosphere, for the Night Mass feeling at home on the couch.
These actors sit at their kitchen table and we fly through space with them. Art can be that simple, because we, the viewers, actually make the story.
Splendid Isolation is about the happiness of loneliness, but, Elgershuizen stresses, it is best experienced together. 'It needs to be performed, because as humans we need to be able to be together'.
If all goes well, it can be experienced on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December.
Earlier this year, Cinekid was in danger of dropping out of the basic cultural infrastructure due to a 'no, unless' advice from the Culture Council. An updated application has now changed the Council's mind. If the minister adopts it, Cinekid can go full steam ahead for four years. An interview with Cinekid director Heleen Rouw.
When it talks about 'some adjustments', of course, you have to be careful. They know that at the province, so they don't mention details. And those details include a cut of 1.3 million from previously promised amounts.
Dutch theatre is thriving, despite frantic attempts by various Rutte cabinets to bring it down. And even though money is always short as a result: a lot of new theatre is being made. More than ever, even. But.
There is a but.

Since this week, I know the difference between a 12-year-old child and a 50-year-old man. That is, as far as I am concerned. When I was about 12, I demonstrated with my mother against the road through Amelisweerd. It was bliss to walk through town among all those people. A demonstration is a...
Thirteen young composers have been selected for the Final of the Dutch Wind Ensemble's (NBE) composition competition Towards the New Year Concert. This Finale will take place on Sunday 20 December in TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht.
Every year during the Christmas holidays, it's party time at the Plein Theatre! This year, from 19 December to 3 January, Plein Theater presents the new theatre production Nietsnut! (6+) by theatre group Who Whale!
My tip to the bonzes in Het Gooi: forget young people. Focus on the wandering forties and fifties, who yearn for disruption. This broadcast of VPRO's Mondo was unforgettable.
This video by Thomas Oliemans is really fun to watch, it lasts 1 hour and 14 min. That's how nice streaming can be. So much nicer when you are there!
From over 100 entries, 24 young composers have been selected for the semi-finals of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble's (NBE) composition competition Towards the New Year Concert with the grand prize of a performance with the NBE at the New Year Concert on 1 January (19:00 NPO 2).
In the year that writer and rapper Pepijn Lanen (38) became a father for the third time, he kept a diary. Vad3r is the account of an eventful and inspired time. 'I like everything about fatherhood.'
In IDFA winner Radiograph of a Family, the Iranian revolution invades the marriage of filmmaker Firouzeh Khosrovani's secular father and her religious mother. What makes this family portrait so special?
With the saving of Frascati and at least a Chamber that does understand the importance of the sector, the most depressing event of the year - the culture budget debate - still ended with a few bright spots.
Today opens IDFA's The DocLab, perhaps my favourite part of the festival. With its own competition, commissions and exhibition, this is the realm of digital experimentation.
Fortunately, the Groninger Museum also puts enough focus on the aural aspect; not only are visitors treated to the various Stones songs, culminating in the concert in Cuba in 2016, but they also pass by fragments of der band members themselves and (popular) cultural figureheads such as director Martin Scorsese.
Weismann strikes me as too brilliant and intelligent a director to throw himself into an adventure that could break him for good. An alpha male, a big ego, it was well known. And couldn't keep his paws off young women.
A sleek, snow-white art temple in the middle of the Congolese interior. What does that mean? Renzo Martens talks about his new documentary White Cube, and the art project that allows plantation workers to buy back their land. Premiering at IDFA and in Lusanga, Congo.
After a two-week closure, TivoliVredenburg announces 100 new editions of the 'coronaproof' concert series Walk The Line in the months of November, December and January. Walk The Line is a unique tour of four venues in the Utrecht music venue.
I started temp work at a time when you were somewhat of a dickhead if you were a student or had just studied, because the corps ball imitation of Jiskefet was so unprecedentedly popular. So a common greeting among regular employees who wanted to be nice was 'Hey dick! Fucked?'

The Dutch Wind Ensemble's (NBE) traditional New Year's concert at The Concertgebouw on Friday 1 January 2021 is going to look completely different from all previous editions. Because it is currently unclear whether, or how many, visitors The Concertgebouw is allowed to admit because of RIVM measures, the difficult decision has been taken to play the New Year's concert entirely without an audience.
On Thursday morning 12 November, the culture spokespersons of Christen Unie, VVD, D'66 and Groen Links entered into a debate on culture. However, the debate organised by LACK (Landelijk Kennisinstituut Cultuureducatie en Amateurkunst) Kunsten '92, the Fund for Culture Participation and the Boekman Foundation did not become scintillating for a moment.
