#toneelschuur productions

[coquelicoq]

Beckett was not open to most interpretative approaches to his work. He famously objected when, in the 1980s, several women's acting companies began to stage the play. "Women don't have prostates", said Beckett,[105] a reference to the fact that Vladimir frequently has to leave the stage to urinate. In 1988 a Dutch theatre company, De Haarlemse Toneelschuur, put on a production directed by Matin Van Veldhuizen with all female actors, using a French-to-Dutch translation by Jacoba Van Velde.[106] Beckett brought an unsuccessful lawsuit against the theatre company. "The issue of gender seemed to him to be so vital a distinction for a playwright to make that he reacted angrily, instituting a ban on all productions of his plays in The Netherlands."[107] This ban was short-lived, however: in 1991 (two years after Beckett's death), a French judge ruled that productions with female casts would not cause excessive damage to Beckett's legacy, and allowed the play to be performed by the all-female cast of the Brut de Beton theater company at the Avignon Festival, although an objection by Beckett's representative had to be read before each performance.[108]

this is so embarrassing. imagine writing a play which is generative and expansive precisely because its lack of adornment leaves open a wide array of lenses through which to understand it and then saying this shit. like do you even understand what makes your own work interesting.

Not just Shakespeare as Utrecht welcomes Viafestival

Two spectacular events coming up in the UNESCO City of Literature that is Utrecht. Viafestival: Crazy of Happiness? We are encouraged every day to seek, make or experience happiness. Contradictory advice drives us crazy. Can a lucky professor make chocolate out of it? Or do we have to eat a lot of chocolate to see results? On April 6 there is a new festival where you can put it to the test. The doors of the monumental Jacobikerk in the Utrecht city centre are open to ViaFestival. The 'Crazy of happiness' theme challenges visitors to think about the value of happiness. How do you experience happiness? And does our search for happiness make us happier or does that search sometimes drive us crazy? During the plenary program, singer-songwriters Rogier Pelgrim and Maarten van Veen perform in the show Pelgrim and Reisgenoot, in which the big questions are not shunned. Happiness researcher Ad Bergsma takes visitors into the world of scientific research on happiness. Among the vaults of the age-old building, visitors can also choose from various sessions, such as poetry with Kila van der Starre spoken word with the Drominee and theatre with I Love Me. The whole is framed by various happiness experiences in the side aisles of the building, where visitors can stimulate their senses. The driving force behind this festival is the new platform Via Jacobi. Via Jacobi wants to offer Utrechters a place to meet and think about current issues together. In addition to ViaFestival, Via Jacobi offers various activities during these months around the theme of 'Happiness', such as a debate and a pop-up book club. More information about these activities can be found on www.viajacobi.nl. The ViaFestival is on Saturday, April 6 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Jacobikerk in Utrecht.

Then we are lucky to have another unique performance when we welcome Toneelschuur Producties with their production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew at Podium Hoge Woerd on April 9 with: Roeland Fernhout and Astrid van Eck. Katherina is a woman nobody wants to marry. Her sister Bianca, her opposite in everything, is much more loved. However, Bianca is only allowed to marry from their father when Katherina is also sold. Although this seems like a hellish task, the rich Petruchio takes on the challenge of taming these shrews. But who actually tames who?

In this version of Taming of the Shrew, all women's roles are played by men and all men's roles are played by women. A festive show with fake eyelashes, music and the beautiful language of Shakespeare. With Roeland Fernhout in the leading roles as Katherina and Astrid van Eck as Petruchio. Director Nina Spijkers talks about Taming of the Shrew: “I have personally experienced the past two years as an enormous search for my voice as a theatre maker and as a woman. For this I have often been guilty of putting away feminism as something outrageous and 'hating nice men'. There are now fantastic new voices in the discussion. It is now about equality and strength. On the other hand, the #metoo movement proves that we are not there yet. In this show I investigate, together with a group of great actors, the differences and similarities in male-female relationships now and in Shakespeare's time. With double roles, fake eyelashes, beautiful language, music and show, we formulate our answer to Shakespeare's piece.” Read the full article

NAH DROPS NEW VIDEO, ALBUM, AND ANNOUNCES A YEAR OF TOURING!

Surpassing labels of noise rap and hardcore, NAH returns with his most concise and powerful release to date. ‘AGED’ is the perfect title for this finely focused 15 min album, taking all his explorations in drum-centered production and genre exploding experimentation. This is a boiled down thesis that could only result from experience, time and patience. Vocals take the forefront, highlighting NAH’s dualistic love of both laid back hip hop and abrasive experimental sounds. In NAH's masterful hands, this immense amount of territory is a natural tour of all the spaces he’s been drafting for years.

“At times, [NAH] almost seems to be imagining a primitivist version of footwork, jettisoning the polyrhythmic intricacy of RP Boo in favour of a grinning, stoned slackness.” – The WIRE

‘AGED’ is the sequel to ‘hiver en neuf morceaux’ (released this past Feb). Both are out now on all major digital platforms. It is released by Ranch Jams.

“the aim of NAH’s unsettling music is to obliterate any expectations of melody and song structure, before getting to work on your eardrums.” – NME

‘AGED’ on Bandcamp ‘AGED’ on cassette

A music video for “Gave Shrill” is out now at: https://youtu.be/nUWFB9ZzO1w

This summer, NAH teams with Jan Martens for a dance performative piece entitled ‘Rule Of Three’. Extensive touring will cover the globe, running till June of 2018. More information here.

Bekroonde satire over gentrificatie voor het eerst in de Toneelschuur

Clybourne Park, de met een Tony Award en Pulitzerprijs bekroonde satire van de Amerikaanse schrijver Bruce Norris, is dit voorjaar voor het eerst in Nederland te zien. Norris zet met dit kleinmenselijke verhaal universele en maatschappelijke thema’s als gentrificatie en raciale spanning op scherp. Thema’s die ook in Nederland aan de orde van de dag […]
