testing policy at theatre attendance Friday 25 June
Dear visitor of Pierrot lunaire, This morning, June 25, we have noticed that there are malfunctions at several 'Testen voor toegang' ('Testing for Access') locations in Amsterdam. In addition, due to enormous traffic caused by other events, there is hardly any possibility to have tests taken. Because of this problem, the Holland Festival in consultation with the theatre ITA has decided to be lenient with 'Testing for admission' tonight. If you do not manage to get tested today, please come to the theater anyway, possibly with your vaccination certificate. We hope to see you all at ITA tonight to enjoy Pierrot lunaire.
A sad clown. With his pale face and tear on his cheek, the Pierrot character from the eighteenth century Italian commedia dell’arte was the counterpart to the cheerful clown. He has been a timeless source of inspiration for artists ever since. The choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas is known for her musical, whimsical and imaginative work. For her first adaptation of an existing piece of musical theatre, she chose Arnold Schönberg’s composition Pierrot lunaire from 1912 about the moonstruck clown. Pierrot stumbles through a kaleidoscopic sonic landscape that holds the middle ground between speech and singing, intimacy and expressivity, and comedy and tragedy. Freitas adds modern elements to the famous, exuberant composition and turns it into an entirely unique visual adventure performed by Klangforum Wien with the singer Sofia Jernberg.
