Welcome to the retrospective of Holland Festival 2021

Emily Ansenk

director Holland Festival

It was an exceptional challenge to organise the 74th edition of the Holland Festival. After putting together an online programme in 2020 because the live edition was cancelled due to the pandemic, we were determined to once again present a live international festival in June this year. After all, this is what the Holland Festival is about: live, international performing arts with a broad perspective on the world. This collective, physical experience was of major importance, especially now, after being inside for months.

Puzzel
We had to piece together a complex puzzle in order to accomplish this during a pandemic, and with a relatively small team. The biggest challenges we faced involved getting artists to the Netherlands and taking into account the conditions for allowing audiences to gather. In order to maximise its chance of proceeding, the festival was organised flexibly with the possibility to scale up or down the number of visitors. We also researched the options for staging pieces at alternative (outdoor) locations. All the persisting uncertainties meant the festival had to consider different scenarios until right before the start. This was possible only through close collaboration with the artists and various external parties, from (government) agencies to locations and suppliers.

Optimism rewarded
This required a lot of flexibility from everyone, with some inevitable disappointments. Restrictions, cancellations and the large cuts in Education, Culture and Science subsidies implemented in 2021 meant the programme was smaller than in normal years, for example. But our optimism and resilience were rewarded in the end. We were able to present a live programme that was equally coherent and diverse, albeit for a limited audience, in part thanks to the inspiring collaboration with this year’s associate artists, composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and director Gisèle Vienne. Within the overarching theme ‘man made’, there was room for both lighter and heavier subjects relevant to these times – from deforestation and natural disasters to the search for identity and the art of truly listening.
Some twenty-three companies in total performed a hundred and eleven pieces over the course of twenty-five days. The festival presented seven world premieres and co-produced twelve international productions. In addition, there were six streams (partially live) that were seen in forty different countries. Surrounding the pieces and concerts was an extensive context program, partially online, that reflected on the festival’s current themes and that gave an inside look into what was on the minds of the makers.

Grateful
Despite these difficult circumstances, the festival turned out a success thanks to the subsidy providers, the various partners, private friends and funds, and the tremendously resilient and professional Holland Festival team. The Holland Festival supervisory board was of vital importance in this.
We are tremendously grateful to the artists and visitors for their trust and willingness to be present. This allowed us to bring those magic moments between artists and audiences we all wanted and dearly missed back to the theatres and concert venues.

the associate artists

The Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and the Franco-Austrian theatre maker Gisèle Vienne played an important role in this year’s programme. As associate artists, they were closely involved with the realisation of the Holland Festival in 2021. Besides work of their own, the festival featured work from makers that the two feel closely related to as well as pieces that have a thematic connection with the associate artists. Both artists have a strikingly wide range of interests, as demonstrated by their collaborations with Hollywood directors, techno artists, visual artists and rock bands. This was clearly reflected in the festival. Not only were they highly motivated to present their own work, they were also closely involved with and interested in other makers and their work, both preceding and during the festival.

Productions from the associate artists
Despite the difficult circumstances, we managed to have both associate artists present important new work during the festival. The festival co-produced the new piece TIME by Sakamoto and director Shiro Takatani, in which dancer Min Tanaka and sho player Mayumi Miyata depict humankind and nature, inspired by traditional Japanese Noh theatre. The piece had its live world premiere during the festival and was widely praised. The stream of Frank Scheffer’s recording was seen throughout the world.
Vienne presented her latest work L’Étang, a co-production with the Holland Festival as well, in which she explored complex family relationships using a text by Robert Walser. All the parts were played in an exceptionally impressive way by two actresses: Adèle Haenel and Ruth Vega Fernandez.
Existing work from both artists was featured as well. For example, Vienne presented a new version of Kindertotenlieder (2007) with a new young cast. Additionally, in Short Circuit she presented a solo from the piece Crowd in a special adaptation for the Holland Festival. Sakamoto’s async at the Park Avenue Armory, filmed by Stephen Nomura Shible (2018), was streamed online. And Sakamoto’s installation Sensing Streams, in collaboration with media artist Daito Manabe, rendered omnipresent electromagnetic fields visible with hypnotic digital images and sounds in Hermitage Amsterdam.
The influence of the associate artists could be felt in a number of pieces. For example in Short Circuit, where favourite bands and performers of the two associate artists followed each other in succession. In De School, this turned into a three and a half hour journey through extremes in sound, speed and experience. In the Muziekgebouw, the young Swiss-Georgian producer and composer Alexandre Kordzaia paid an extraordinary homage to Sakamoto’s early work with Kordz x Sakamoto.

Man made
An overarching question permeating the work of the associate artists, as well as that of other artists, was: Man made?. The artists approached the interplay between the circumstances confronting a human and that which is made by human hands from various different angles. Much of the focus was on concepts like: time and the experience of time, identity formation and the role humankind plays in nature. Apart from making impressive pieces, these subjects proved to be food for thought and great conversation.

Presence and meetings
Even though Sakamoto was unable to come to the Netherlands during the festival due to health issues, he was able to closely follow the festival from Japan. But Gisèle Vienne was present and, when she was not rehearsing, played an active role in the festival. She visited several performances by both Dutch and international makers. She also visited the exhibition The Art of Escapism, which was inspired by her own oeuvre. Apart from this, there was time to meet makers, members of the HF Young Circle and master’s students of DAS Choreography and the master Composition of the Royal Conservatoire the Hague. It was her presence during the festival that allowed for a vital exchange of ideas in a relaxed environment.

Context & education

This year, the Holland Festival once again featured an extensive context programme for those wanting a more in-depth exploration of the festival’s themes and more information about the makers. This programme took place online for the most part, except for several live programmes on location at regular partners Eye and Melkweg Expo.

Live
Sakamoto’s grand oeuvre formed the basis for a programme in collaboration with Eye. Eye screened four films Sakamoto composed the music for. Sakamoto’s influence on current-day film composers like Hildur Guðnadóttir and Daniel Lopatin (alias Oneohtrix Point Never) was touched on as well, and a film with music of theirs was shown. The programme concluded with an evening dedicated to Sakamoto’s work, which included live music.
Melkweg Expo invited young artists to make new work, inspired by Gisèle Vienne’s work. In the exhibition The Art of Escapism, Thomas Bunt, Liza Houben, Jan Janssenwillen, Fabian Landewee, Mary Ponomareva, George Voronov and Lukasz Wierzbowski explored the limits of time, space and the human body. Gisèle Vienne was present at the exhibition opening, which will continue until 18 July.

Digital
In 2020 and 2021, the possibilities for presenting the context programme in digital form were researched and developed. This digital form gives the audience more freedom to personally choose the time and place it wishes to receive information about the pieces and makers.
Podcast introductions were developed in collaboration with De Groene Amsterdammer. In sixteen unique podcasts of thirty minutes each, presenters Roos van der Lint, Stephan Sanders, Joost de Vries and Christiaan Weijts talked with makers, dramaturges, aficionados and specialists. The inspiring conversations, supplemented with relevant text and music fragments, were heard by many and will be continued in future editions of the festival.
Besides these introductions, the context programme featured a series of Conversations in the form of video interviews with artists like Garin Nugroho, Gisèle Vienne and Dorothée Munyaneza. For the series Backstage, programme maker Ravian van den Hil went backstage with a film crew. They captured the atmosphere and portrayed performing musicians, dancers and theatre makers.

The introductions, Conversations and Backstage registrations will remain on the website as reference material. This will result in a lively and accessible archive that gives a look inside the makers’ way of thinking and their artistic process.

Each year, the festival screens films in the run-up to the festival. This year, we continued this tradition online with a new partner, Cinetree. Two weeks before the festival, audiences could use the Cinetree website for free to watch seven films relating to the programme that were selected in consultation with the associate artists. These included Seven Weeks by filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi, a work never before screened in the Netherlands and an emotionally riveting film about Japan’s troubled past. Dutch actors and film experts gave short introductions to these films.

EDUCATION

Immerse@HF
Immerse@HF took place once again during this year’s Holland Festival. Ordinarily, a number of (inter)national performing artists are invited to attend a programme to get to know each other and the Holland Festival better, as well as to expand their international network. Because traveling and gathering a group of international makers in these times was rather complex, this year’s edition of Immerse was organised with master’s students (already in the Netherlands) from DAS Choreography and the Royal Conservatoire The Hague. Participants included: Amparo González Sola (Argentina), Forough Fami (Iran), Flavia Pinheiro (Brazil), Sóley Sigurjónsdóttir (Iceland), Pedro Latas (Portugal) and Eric So (Hong Kong). Over the course of five days, the participants visited performances at the festival and met with festival artists and the festival organisation.

Together with the Art Education Master’s Programme from the Amsterdam School of the Arts, the festival developed the Red Carpet Club: an educational project for youths from ten to twelve years old. Participants were exposed to work from various festival artists through digital meetings, and they did assignments relating to the associate artists’ work. For example, they made a composition with everyday sounds they recorded themselves, inspired by Sakamoto. The project ended with a visit to Sensing Streams in the Hermitage, where postcards they had made themselves were shared with the participating children’s parents. This year, the participants were from Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The Red Carpet Club plans on working together with youths from a different Amsterdam neighbourhood each time for future editions of the festival.

IMC Weekend School
This year, the IMC Weekend School started a project for students interested in the production profession. The Holland Festival made an assignment for them that had them develop and present a fictional project. They were encouraged to develop the assignment for a target group, draw up budgets and make schedules.

HF Young

HF Young, the platform for everyone under forty with a wide range of cultural interests can take part in, organises various activities each year. HF Young’s aim is to lower barriers for entry to the Holland Festival and to expose younger, often new audiences to the festival’s themes and makers in a way that appeals to them.
Once again this year, HF Young offered special on- and offline meetings relating to the festival programme and discounts on a selection of performances. This selection, the HF Young Favourites, was made by the HF Young Circle – twelve culture loving volunteers between 23 and 39 years old. The five pieces they initially selected were: Fremdkörper by Boogaerdt/VanderSchoot, L’Étang by Gisele Vienne, Short Circuit by various artists, TIME by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Shiro Takatani and Dans la forêt by Massimo Furlan and Claire de Ribaupierre. In the run-up to the festival, HF Young set up an audio walk, the HF Young Kick – Off(line), in which the Holland Festival team took the HF Young members to see these five HF Young Favourites. Because these performances all sold out in little to no time, five more pieces were added during the festival: Mailles by Dorothée Munyaneza, Maison Mère by Phia Ménard, Kindertotenlieder by Gisele Vienne, The Planet – A Lament by Garin Nugroho and Pierrot lunaire by Marlene Monteiro Freitas.

press reviews

Age of Rage

Age of Rage, an extraordinary compilation of various Greek tragedies about Agamemnon’s family line by Ivo van Hove, is this festival’s exhilarating high point because of its moving stories, the superb acting and also especially because of the dance protest (...) A fascinating mammoth of a Greek play.

Max Arian, De Groene Amsterdammer

TIME

The hushed piece TIME is a monument to composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and all his fellow mortals. (...) The piece evokes unforgettable images. You do not need to be an expert in Japanese poetry or spirituality to glean a deeper meaning. (...) The music accompanying the scenes, strung together like short meditations, has a serene beauty: Sakamoto has synthesizer blips pierce the silence, like big drops falling on water. You can hear how the Japanese composer has captured his own finitude in sound.

Robert van Gijssel, de Volkskrant ★★★★

Die ersten Menschen

Repressed lust, strong emotions within the family, existential issues, sex and murder: Die ersten Menschen has all the ingredients for getting deep under your skin and letting you experience opera.

Mischa Spel, NRC Handelsblad ★★★★

Fremdkörper

Responding to the great need for (at least the feeling of) being together, the theatre makers draw heavily on hypnotic effects (...), which is kind of relaxing.

Hanny Alkema, Trouw

Ine Aya'

Ine Aya is a wonderful piece that strikes a serious note. It is a musical and theatrical journey that sends you home with the message: do better.

Marco Dreijer, De Cultuurvlogger

Kindertotenlieder

Uncanny and intriguing (...) KTL, the band of Peter Rehberg and Stephen O’Malley, takes inspiration from black metal and was formed especially for the Kindertotenlieder series. KTL plays a noisy, abstract score, a loud but intriguing soundscape that sets the mood for the piece. It is a nightmarish fairy tale.

Helen Westerik, Cultuurpers

Kordz x Sakamoto

Seeing and hearing Asko|Schönberg in a role you are not used to from this ensemble. They are visibly swinging, shaking off the dust from months, and drag us along from one sonic explosion to the next, taking down musical and cultural barriers without qualms. Add to this the beautiful stage setting, a tree cut into pieces crossing the ceiling from the stage to the back of the venue, the appealing light show, and the party is complete. After months of lockdown, this made for a highly successful opening party.

Ben Taffijn, Nieuwe Noten

Kukangendai

I sat watching and listening with a big, happy smile on my face. These three continue where Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, King Crimson and Radiohead - to name just a few comparable acts - left off.

Wijbrand Schaap, Cultuurpers

Mailles

The beautiful piece is effective in its theatrical composition, especially because it is carried out by a group of talented artists.

Lucia Fernandez Santoro, Movement Exposed

Soft Valkyrie

The homogeneous sound mix has no pianissimi, no extreme dynamics, and so the story and the music can be easily followed even on rattling rails or when jogging. Optimised for headphones, under real podcast conditions.

Deutschlandfunk

The Planet – A Lament

The story is told exceedingly simply and is extremely powerful as a result. With childlike simplicity, Nugroho makes a statement about increasing natural disasters and the environmental destruction that is in part to blame. The beautiful design supports the message.

Alexander Hiskemuller, Trouw ★★★★★

Between Past and Future (Inner Landscape / Si Fan)

Inner Landscape is for the aficionado or layperson who enjoys submerging herself in new sound worlds (...). Behind-the-scenes scenes alternate with a wrangling Sichuan opera company and atmospheric images of the big city and countryside, making the music’s socio-historic context and inner landscape tangible. A film for enthusiasts, certainly, as well as for laypersons who wish to submerge themselves in new sound worlds without being taken by the hand.

Kevin Toma, de Volkskrant ★★★★

Transverse Orientation

Transverse Orientation by Dimitris Papaioannou is a real feast! In carefully composed scenes, he creates layered images that linger for a long time, put your associative capacities to work and inspire emotional affect, laughter or recognition.

Francine van der Wiel, NRC ★★★★
