Holland Festival, June 1 – July 29, 2014
The Holland Festival is one of Europe's most distinguished art forums, having been an important part of the continent's cultural life since 1947. Its repertoire features works that have been created specifically to premiere at the festival, as well as powerful performances that have already been shown elsewhere. This year, the programme is replete with events by some of the world's best artists. Among them is Canadian magical theatre master Robert Lepage, who is also known as the Alchemist, and who will be presenting Spades, the first part of his new Playing Cards performance cycle.
Then there is legendary British director Peter Brook, nicknamed "the Socrates of theatre". Despite having gone completely blind, he continues to direct theatre performances. In Amsterdam, Brook will be presenting the Dutch premiere of The Theatre of Astonishment. Another mammoth event is River of Fundament, a five-hour-long movie that US artist Matthew Barney made in cooperation with Berlin-based American composer Jonathan Bepler. The film was inspired by American writer Norman Mailer's novel Ancient Evenings, which depicts events in Ancient Egypt from 1290 to 110 BC.
