With Black Box / Chambre Noire the Jewish Historical Museum presents the first exhibition by South African artist William Kentridge in the Netherlands. A multimedia artwork On the first genocide of the 20th century. Now on display at the Jewish Historical Museum.
Upon entering, Wild Life Take Away Station has been going on for four hours. Two performers - Diego Agulló and Ria Higler, a young man and an old woman - stroll through the Central Museum's project studio like drowsy zombies. They are pale and muscle-naked, except for their weird slippers and wigs. The two lie sprawled across the sofa,...
Our team agrees: Springdance really took off on Saturday. With Ibrahim Quraishi's installation 'Wildlife Take Away Station' for sure. Reviewer Daniel Bertina made his own recordings, which will appear in his review. And it was even more tasty for him at '(M)imosa. Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (M)....
De vorig jaar aan longkanker overleden KünstlerChristoph Schlingensief – alleskunner, provocateur, regisseur, levenskunstenaar – krijgt op het Holland Festival een uitgebreid eerbetoon: de openingsvoorstelling Mea Culpa, een programma met zeven speelfilms, en Schlingensiefs zwanenzang Via Intolleranza II.
Doodziek vatte Christoph Schlingensief het wilde plan op om in Burkina Faso een operadorp uit de grond te stampen, Remdoogo. Een zelfvoorzienende vrijplaats waar mensen vanuit verschillende culturen elkaar zouden kunnen ontmoeten, en om daar voor langere tijd samen kunst te maken. Dit in navolging van vergelijkbare initiatieven zoals het Avenida Theater in Mozambique, opgezet door schrijver Henning Mankell. Schlingensief streefde naar het samenvloeien van kunst en leven. Gedreven uit een jarenlange fascinatie voor de rijke Afrikaanse cultuur, en geïnspireerd op de idealen van zijn grote held Joseph Beuys.
Via Intolleranza II is Schlingensiefs poging om in een maalstroom van documentaire, muziek, beeldende kunst, film, performancekunst, lezing, opera en theater het prille wordingsproces van Remdoogo vast te leggen. Een voorstelling over een proces. Tegelijkertijd lijkt Schlingensief ook zijn eigen motieven te bevragen. Via Intolleranza II was zijn zwanenzang – hij stierf drie maanden na de première. De voorstelling krijgt op zaterdag 4 juni de Nederlandse première.
It is occasionally quite chilly on the Westergasfabriek grounds where three Fringe performances are on show. On Thursday night, they are Levelless by Theatre Group WAK, Vivarium #3 by LORNA Collective and Kaat by Eva Knibbe, respectively. The cold, however, is no killjoy. The physical jokes in Levelless (or Recht not in Dutch) are a bit like...
The Dodo International Choice journal, episode 2: Wijbrand Schaap came, saw and was overcome by Kris Verdonck's seven installations about plighted people. It should have ended with terrible bangs, a canned fireworks display a few metres from the spectators. But that's not allowed in the Netherlands since Enschede. And certainly not with Belgian fireworks. Theatre-maker, installation artist and video jockey Kris Verdonck ended up...
