Cielo e Terra, heaven and earth, was the theme of the 2008 Holland Festival. Both in a literal sense, in terms of climate conditions and human relationships, and metaphysically. The festival opened with Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, in which a woman is up to her waist in sand and sinking ever-deeper away, doomed to never sleep again. The festival concluded with La Pasión ségun San Marcos, an unconventional Latin-American passion play. The weeks between included an opera trilogy about Chinese heroines by Guo Wenjing, pieces by Emio Greco based on Dante’s Divina Comedia, a homage to composer Stockhausen, who died in December 2007 , and Quartett by Heiner Müller.
