Eerste titels Theaterfestival Boulevard 2021 bekend; Thema Theaterfestival Boulevard 2021: Hack the horizon

Van donderdag 5 t/m zondag 22 augustus 2021 vindt Theaterfestival Boulevard ’s-Hertogenbosch plaats. De 37ste festivaleditie telt ruim 120 verschillende voorstellingen, concerten, performances en installaties in theaters, op unieke locaties en in het Zuiderpark. Ook trekken we de nacht in met Fomo Fatale, clubnachten met dampende klanken. Het Zuiderpark doet dienst als nieuw, ruim opgezet festivalhart met onder andere de… 

Marijn Lems: ‘Ik schrijf voor mensen die het avontuurlijke in de kunst niet uit de weg gaan.’

Meer dan 1500 uur bracht theaterrecensent Marijn Lems vorig jaar door in theaters, voor de tv en, vooral ook, met games. Dat is veel tijd en dat roept vragen op. Vragen vooral hoe je als journalist je tijd inricht, en hoe je die verdeelt tussen kunst kijken voor werk en wat we dan maar ‘gewoon leven’ zullen noemen. Daarover gaat deze podcast, een kleine drie kwartier lang.

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... 

Shout out! The big fill-in for the new arts plan.

The Council for Culture has just proposed the new Basic Infrastructure (BIS), and it has become a very big, in traditional terms 'prosperous', baby. Since the Council is not allowed to name names, and can only list functions, we have already made a fill-in list here, in which we list (very briefly, because little time and not knowing about everything) which existing cultural... 

Just a few reasons to come to @tfboulevard in Den Bosch in early August.

If the weather holds up a bit, the upcoming edition of Theatre Festival Boulevard will be the most tropical in history. The smart ones among us, who opted for a staycation in West Balkonia this year, can indulge their cultural heart in Den Bosch. Not for nothing regularly called 'The Avignon of the Netherlands'. Theatre festival Boulevard is unpacking 2018 with a truly overwhelming... 

Gesualdo at the @hollandfestival: a hell of a match made in heaven.

Pizza Napolitana is not going to taste the same again. After all, mozzarella can be anything. We owe this enrichment of our lives to De Warme Winkel, the anarchic theatre company hired by the Nederlands Kamerkoor to enhance their Holland Festival programme. We knew it. And you can go and check that out for yourself, because after that... 

Ruth Mackenzie's latest Holland Festival promises to be just one of the most exciting

Here it is. The one and only interactive Culture Press Holland Festival Special. A special that has already been deployed over the past few months, and will be added to in the coming month. During the festival, we have regular reviews and reports, and podcasts. A new edition of this Special will appear every week. On Mondays. And then you can also subscribe via... 

Gesualdo project at @hollandfestival by De Warme Winkel: 'We want to anoint and flog the ears' #HF18

Say 'Carlo Gesualdo' and you say 'heavenly music', and 'cruel disposition'. This Renaissance composer's name is inextricably linked to the gruesome double murder he committed on his wife and lover when he found them in flagrante delicto. Who else but The Warm Shop could make an appealing performance of this thought Tido Visser, artistic director of the Netherlands Chamber Choir. So.

At the Holland Festival, Mackenzie is opening the doors to a new avant-garde among the audience.

The neat couple next to me, in the front row at the Holland Festival press conference, hadn't counted on it for a moment. Four members of the Nederlands Kamerkoor starting to undress one by one down to their pecker-sized nakie. A giggle, a small cough, but hey, this is the Holland Festival, they said to each other. So too... 

Our readers' list. What we should all never forget from 2017.

Nou hebben we het hier niet zo op hypes en tradities, maar toch. De donkere dagen rond kerst zijn dit jaar wel erg donker, dus waarom niet iets met lijstjes. Dit jaar even geen lijstje van de redactie met toppers, maar willekeurige inzendingen van willekeurige lezers, in willekeurige, zij het licht alfabetische volgorde. Motto van de lezersvraag was: welke dingen… 

Chablis, riesling, bardolino and five indies: Boulevard succeeded

Wine tasting and listening to medieval music are usually things people only do with very serious faces. So it took five glasses, three drunken singers and a good hour before the mob in the sober Heilig Hart church in Den Bosch loosened up a bit. With a Frontignan to boot. You do start fantasising about the great dinner you had at... 

Dit zijn de winnaars, verliezers en nieuwkomers in de Amsterdamse kunsten

Het wil nog niet vlotten met de diversiteit in de Amsterdamse kunstwereld. Het Amsterdams Fonds voor de kunst, dat vandaag zijn subsidietoekenningen bekend maakte, wordt er een beetje moe van: “In de meeste disciplines merken de commissies op dat de culturele diversiteit van publiek, personeel en bestuur tegenvalt, evenals de inspanningen om daar verandering in te brengen. Buiten de gespecialiseerde organisaties waarvoor culturele diversiteit een core business is, zijn de ambities nog altijd niet groot, twee decennia cultuurbeleid op dit gebied ten spijt. Zijn de ambities er wel, dan lukt het organisaties niet altijd om er handen en voeten aan te geven. Er lijkt vaak sprake van een bepaald ongemak of ‘niet weten hoe’.”

Om dan maar met het goede nieuws te beginnen: Marmoucha groeit 398 procent ten opzichte van de vorige subsidieronde. De hoofdstedelijke producent en promotor van podiumkunsten op het gebied van Noord-Afrikaanse en Midden-Oosterse kunst en cultuur in Nederland werd in 2013 nog fors gekort, maar het Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst vond het werk van de afgelopen vier jaar zo goed, dat de subsidie dubbel en dwars is verdiend. In de nieuwe ronde toekenningen die op 1 augustus beken werd stijgen ze van 25.070 euro naar een ton, met de opmerking erbij dat ze wellicht niet zo ambitieus moeten zijn.

Tantalising intimacy porn in 'Privacy' raises relevant questions #HF16

Wine Dierickx ( Wunderbaum) and Ward Weemhoff (The Hot Shop) are an artist couple and we will know it. Engaging and with humour, they take us into their private lives or that which we think that is their private life. Know after all, we don't do it.

Holland Festival 2016: urgent, challenging and inviting

Never before has the Holland Festival placed itself at the centre of society as it is today. The 2016 programme is steeped in the turbulent times in which we live. The Netherlands holds the presidency of the European Union this spring. Artistic director Ruth Mackenzie has taken this fact unflinchingly to give 'Europe' a wide place in the programming. In presenting... 

How it feels to single-handedly make a decision that turns the world upside down

That Serbian Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Austrian crown prince in 1914, thus triggering World War I, was until recently in the Netherlands no more than a dry historical fact. But now that it has been a century since this attack, this young freedom fighter is still getting a face in our country. But what De Warme Winkel is doing in the performance 'Gavrilo Princip' is much more than 'giving a face'.

Irony and purity want to stand side by side in 'Free Mason' by Tjon Rockon #International Choice

It takes guts: walking down Rotterdam's Kruiskade with a big wooden cross and shouting "Mason was a fish!" shouting. The drug-addicted residents of St Paul's Church, the dishwashers at Chinese restaurants and waiting passengers at the tram stop look on in bewilderment. Sandro Lima shouts lyrics about Mason the saviour like a possessed religious maniac. Moments before, we are at... 

Hufters en helden strijden om de macht op Utrechts Festival a/d Werf

De perfecte mens bestaat niet. We zijn allemaal hufters. Of is er een manier om het wel goed te doen? Ilay den Boer en de spelers van  De Utrechtse Spelen / De Warme Winkel gaan elk op hun eigen manier  op onderzoek uit op de 26e editie van Festival aan de Werf. Was mijn opa niet gewoon een klootzak? Dat… 

René Pollesch: afgelast, maar misschien sowieso te goed voor Nederland

De komende dagen zou op De Internationale Keuze in Rotterdam de voorstelling Der perfekte Tag – Ruhrtrilogie Teil 3 van de Duitse regisseur René Pollesch spelen. Maar helaas, de belangrijkste speler, Fabian Hinrichs, heeft zijn been gebroken en de voorstelling moest worden afgelast. Wat lopen we nu mis? De afgelopen jaren zag ik in Berlijn een aantal voorstellingen van René… 

Too much humour and not enough shuddering at De Warme Winkel's 'Poets and bandits' at Theatre Festival The International Choice #dekeuze

Snow has fallen, a thick layer of fresh snow. Fake snow admittedly, but real enough to imagine yourself in the middle of Russia. There, in the city of Sverdlovsk, or Yekaterinburg, once lived the man about whom the show 'Poets and bandits' is about. Boris Ryzhy (1974-2001) turned the raw realities of his hometown into poems. He left more than a thousand poems to the world. His breakthrough came at the Poetry International festival in Rotterdam, in the year 2000. A year later, he was dead. Boris Ryzhy, 26, had hanged himself.

Theatre group De Warme Winkel makes that link with Rotterdam if only because 'Poëten en bandieten' is played there. An old factory hall serves as a backdrop for the run-down working-class neighbourhood in which Ryzhy grew up. From behind a work table, actress Mara van Vlijmen calls Rotterdam residents. None of them are at home. But on their answering machine is now one of Ryzhy's poems, which must be a wondrous experience for the listeners. The Warm Shop does not show how the professor's son Boris ended up in that poor neighbourhood. Whereas he himself talks about an environment full of drab flats in his poems, the stage setting is more reminiscent of the outdoors, with all that vast snow. The atmosphere is cosy and warm. On a float decorated with candles, a folk ensemble comes on, singing Russian songs. Old-fashioned songs, and nothing pop or punk.
