Art and the artist are always at the heart of Holland Festival, but this edition was dominated by (auto)biographical elements of the artists themselves in their performances. A good example of this was The Life & Death of Marina Abramović, in which we saw Abramović through Robert Wilson’s eyes. Attention was also given to the hundredth birthday of John Cage, with performances of several of his major theatrical works. Literary inspiration for the various productions ranged from Shakespeare to Jonathan Littell and Robert Musil.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Holland Festival archive! The history of our festival dates back to 1947. Through the programs of each festival edition we aim to tell this history here. Sadly some information is only available in Dutch but we aim to be as bilingual as possible. For additions or tips send an email to [email protected].
