At Lab111 with some great short movies. It and became a kind of Brazilian Festival. Based on the choice of movies.
Queer Refugee Festival
Open studio
Twenty five years Kenpenaerstudio! Celebrated with open studio’s with movies art-films presentation of design and art theatre and music performances. A day to remember.
I presented my opera drawings and parts of the libretto. With music from @thomasvgeerts.
And I showed my Crash paintings and graphic score based on a real story from filmmaker Tjepke Zijlstra (@peppe_zucchini). Visualizing the energie of a near dead experience after a crash. A child from about 6 years said he had seen those lights when he broke his arm, and a psychic man said it was his daily experience, those energies and recognized the spiritual figure.
It was a day to remember.
Thanks to @hanneke_gol for the photos
Reflections
Staring into the water is staring into yourself.
Filming for media to add to one of my songs about how staring into the water brings you back to yourself.
Waves move
Soothing wind
Up and down
What comes goes around
Glow of the sun
Sparkles of light
A million diamond
In that beautiful light
West Side Story
The new version of West Side Story made me aware how modern the music of Bernstein still is and how actual the theme still is. It shows the spiral of aggression and revanche creating more pain and grieve. As it was in the Romeo and Julia of Shakespeare. The Audience was crying and shouted noooo!
The translation was horrible often not even close to what they sang or meant.
Rules because of Covid where strictly applied so that felt good.
Premiere of the The Pretenders
How great was that to be driven to the Rembrandt Theatre in Utrecht in t Rolls Roys…1981. I was acting in this movie of Stelling.
