Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth
Archive 2001
This festival saw Theu Boermans making his debut as an opera director with Theo Loevendie’s opera Johnny & Jones about the downfall of a Jewish jazz duo during World War II. Furthermore, the programme extensively focussed on filmmaker Frank Scheffer, noise rockers Sonic Youth were present with two performances, and Boris Charmatz did no less than two performances, a workshop and an exhibition. The festival covered a lot of ground in terms of theatre, from Russia’s Boris Godunov (Declan Donnelan) to Argentinian marionettes (El Periférico de objetos). Festival director Ivo van Hove adapted Mean Streets into a performance where the audience was very close to the actors onstage.
