This year’s Holland Festival puts special focus on the multi-talented Dutch composer, conductor and poet Micha Hamel. Hamel has composed two new works, which will both premiere at the festival: Requiem and The Red Kimono. The latter, commissioned by the Holland Festival, is set up as a service of worship centred on the famous, eponymous painting by Dutch artist G.H. Breitner, which itself is present on the stage. In close collaboration with director Jos van Kan, Hamel sets out to intensify and renew the experience of the painting by means of multiple media. Apart from the music, a film will be projected with close-ups of the painting. These images will be combined with live images shot during the performance by dancer and improviser Michael Schumacher.
