2017 saw the Holland Festival celebrate its 70th anniversary and the return of several makers who enriched the festival throughout its history. Romeo Castellucci, Alain Platel and Robert Lepage presented new work, and Stockhausen was on the programme once more. Two previous festival directors presented new work: Ivo van Hove made new performances with the Dutch National Opera and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. Pierre Audi directed Monteverdi’s Mariavespers, which opened at the Gashouder in the Westergas area.


The festival also focused on the state of democracy, and on Indonesia, with a host of Indonesian artists, from Garin Nugroho to Jompet Kuswidananto.
