Cabaret Deconstruit

A great performance of dance company Leina Roebana and Dyane Donck Compagny (sound, music) Everything is so intergraded and comes so beautifully together. Proud of my colleague Diane Donck who created the beautiful musical story. It was like a surrealistic dream.

The photos are taken before the start of the performance.

Performance Neco Novellas

On the Roof: on top of a building in Amsterdam Neco took as om a trip to Mozambique. We heated the rithme of the land the sounds of the wind and the birds, the stories of his grandparents and his dad who was absent. We clapped and sang together. That was really a wonderful experience. Thanks Neco!

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.

Hallo Halloween

The performance was great. Children sang the song well, and the children’s orchestra played great! Lots of happy scary moments. I read a Surinam ghost story.

Interview Radio Noord Holland

At 13.02hrs and 44 seconds this photo of Thomas Geerts and me was taken. We had an interview because of the music theatre production: Wie wind zaait. Thomas is the composer and director and I am the singer and actor. That was fun. Thank you Radio/TV Noord Holland!

Thomas, moi

Zomeravond 2016. In het weiland bij Ransdorp zijn de contouren van een levensgrote kerk zichtbaar, gebouwd van truss-delen. Rondom de kerk is een dijk gebouwd. Op deze bijzondere locatie in de openlucht vindt de muziektheatervoorstelling WIE WIND ZAAIT plaats. Hier brengt het 30 man sterke blazersorkest De Waterlandse Harmonie samen met 15 zangers/toneelspelers en twee koren het hartverscheurende verhaal van Anna Bakker tot leven (zie hieronder). De duizenden liters water die omhoog gepompt worden, maken de beleving van de overstroming van 1916 invoelbaar. Een unieke kans om met 400 mensen, terwijl de zon in de polder ondergaat, de wind te horen huilen en het water te voelen stromen. Een belevenis waarover nog lang gesproken gaat worden.

Samual Becket

I think Becket is one of the greatest play writers. That’s what I found out during my courses dramaturgy. I made a series of self portraits with masks when I was in my last year of The Gerrit Rietveld Art Academie.
