Attention for each other
In recent months, the group has experimented with languageless interaction and human connection under the guidance of theater maker Marene van Holk . Because really looking at each other, really listening — we rarely do that. As a result, we miss out on valuable interactions, opportunities to enrich ourselves or be comforted by someone’s story, or to share what we carry with us.
By exchanging theatre and sports exercises, cooking skills, knowledge and stories, the group discovered how much they can mean to each other. Now the close-knit group feels the urgency to share the energy, warmth and comfort they have discovered in each other with an audience.
But in order to experience this, this audience has to take lessons. You get educated, you get the chance to participate, you learn a new language and if you do well enough … Then you might be allowed to stay.

About the performance: Singer Giovanca presents her ideal music evening with Phion with Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, among others.
This special evening focuses on Giovanca and her love for music. She talks about what music means to her and how it gives meaning to her life, even as a religious person. With Phion conducted by Rolf Verbeek, she also shows the music she cherishes. One of those works is an instrumental selection that Gershwin compiled from Porgy and Bess.
