'The music is truly beautiful and unique, and paired with dance it promises to be a deeply impressive experience. The story behind it also matters a great deal to me, which is why this performance really stands out.'

'Why this tip? The reason is, of course, that it features our associate artist, but also because I think lately, in this time of digital efficiency and AI, the collective musical act of a symphony orchestra holds a different meaning for the young generation. It is a unique, genuine, classical and humane collective act of art which I realize more and more as a strong act of human nature.'

'A Trial - after An Enemy Of the People appeals to me most, as I’m very curious to see how the makers place a nineteenth-century Norwegian play in the context of present-day Brazil, and do so through audience participation. It sounds like an ambitious piece!'

'I think it offers an interesting perspective on the age-old tension between personal interests (profit) and societal interests (a clean environment and climate). I’ve also never experienced such an interactive piece myself, which makes me especially curious about the tension that arises when people genuinely have influence over how the scenario unfolds.'

'I’m very much looking forward to the evening with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, hosted by Hildur Guðnadóttir. Hearing live the music I know from films I’ve seen and know well, I hope to experience a kind of new cinematic immersion during this concert — as if going to the cinema, but with my eyes closed.'

'I find it exciting when makers explore the boundaries between performance, space and audience: what is music, what is movement, what is image? I’m curious to see how these makers bring music and visual language together in an elusive universe.'

'A Trial – because the audience participation makes every performance unique, which I find really exciting, and When I Saw the Sea, which addresses the urgent and often overlooked subject of workers in Lebanon – something more people should know about and see.'

'I first encountered Christiane Jatahy’s work during the Holland Festival in 2024 and became a fan from the very first moment. She has an extraordinary ability to convey urgent and contemporary issues through her work. She surprises her audience, makes them think and at times even puts them to work. I’m very curious to see how this will play out in this new production. And of course, I’m also looking forward to her collaboration with the outstanding actor Wagner Moura.'

'I recommend this performance because it is a performance centred on women, and specifically women of colour. These women share their own pain and that of others, revealing stories that are rarely, if ever, told.'

'For me, the production by Christiane Jatahy and Wagner Moura really stands out – especially because the combination of themes such as the climate crisis and misinformation feels highly relevant today.'
