Tibaldus received a special guest during the performances of Het Huwelijk in Den Bosch: Paul Beers, the Dutch translator of Witold Gombrowicz. The two gentleman met a few years before Gombrowicz died. The cast met Paul Beers after the performance.
From 8 to 11 July, Lisaboa Houbrechts was working in the Conservatoire of Valenciennes with some musicians of Harmonia Sacra and kamancheh-player Mostafa Taleb on the music for Bruegel. Stéphanie Revillion (soprano), Capucine Meens (soprano), Florent Baffi (bass-baritone) en Jérôme Bertier (organ, harpsichord) explore together with Mostafa Taleb different compositions by, among others, Monteverdi, Johannes Ockeghem and Adriaen Willaert. Some pieces are based on improvisation.
Research in Valenciennes with Harmonia Sacra for the music of Bruegel! Lisaboa Houbrechts and Kuiperskaai are currently working with Harmonia Sacra on the scores for the new performance.
On 5 and 6 June, Kuiperskaai presented Hamlet at Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt. The Frankfurter Rundschau saw it was good!
'What’s more, Houbrechts' staging is a free adaptation. Not just because she emphasizes the female aspects more than Shakespeare does. The text of the play (in Dutch with German surtitles) is also 2.0 in a sense; only here and there do the famous original citations filter through.'
