‘Grand’ anniversary week for Waalre100 will cost quarter million

The Municipality of Waalre wants to pay €160,000 to organise the municipality’s centennial anniversary, which will be celebrated in 2023.

The residents’ need to celebrate also became clear at a brainstorming evening at which seventy delegates participated like residents, associations, companies and other stakeholders.

Festival week
In addition, there was a lot of enthusiasm for a big celebration, and a real “grand anniversary week” should be organised, for which the municipality could dig deep into its pockets. But the municipality does not consider an overly lavish celebration appropriate, given the difficult economic-financial situation in which many people find themselves.

Nevertheless, the municipality is planning a celebration worth €250,000. €90,000 would then have to be put in by sponsors. If that amount is not put in, there will be a “minimum variant” of the party. The city council expects to say in the short term whether the sponsorship money will come in.

Cost
Most of the €160,000 the municipality is putting into the project, €90,000 euros, will go to a project manager. The activities may cost about €50,000 and €20,000 will be set aside for marketing and communication, among other things.

City to prevent cultural institutions from going under

City to prevent cultural institutions from going under

The large cultural institutions in Eindhoven cannot go under because of the corona crisis. That will however cost the municipality of Eindhoven a large amount of money. This is according to cultuur Eindhoven.

Institutions such as the Effenaar and Muziekgebouw have been closed for three months. Despite anti-coronavirus measures being relaxed, it offers no solution for these institutions.  It could still be months before they can open their doors to the public. It is also unclear how they will reopen and what that would mean financially.

“We’re trying to prevent institutions from suddenly going under” says Tanja Mlaker from cultuur Eindhoven. It is difficult for organisations to adjust to the new limitations. Also when they are allowed to open again.”

De grote podia is dependent on ticket sales and revenue from hospitality. Only allowing 30 to 100 people per performance makes matters complex. It is already clear that would lead to a loss. But closing-down for good is also not an option.

“This is a crucial part of the city that has to be preserved”, says Mlaker. “They can’t go under. The responsibility lies with both sides.”

Cultuur Eindhoven are leading the discussions surrounding financial solutions. One thing is clear – they don’t have to be worried about having less performances and visitors than agreed to for the subsidy.

Last week the municipality started an emergency fund for, amongst others, cultural institutions. It seems it will not be near enough for large venues. Unfortunately, how much money is needed remains uncertain.

Win free tickets to Brabantsedag

Ever since the first procession of artisans in 1958, the Brabantsedag parade has grown into a mobile Brabantian history lesson wrapped in a theatre production, which includes quality acting, make-up, dancing, singing, and costumes. The spectacle attracts forty thousand visitors, not bad for a town of ten thousand.

The main attraction is a massive, mobile theatre spectacle, which is the product of the hard work of (currently) sixteen amateur groups, creating social cohesion as it passes through the community of the Pearl of Brabant. The amateur acting groups manage to portray an entire story during the parade, particularly during each stop lasting a mere handful of minutes. Brabant Day has been added to the National Inventory of Non-Material Cultural Heritage, as set out in the international UNESCO treaty that supports and treasures living habits, traditions, skills and rituals and aids in the passing down of such from generation to generation.

De Brassers work hard to get float finished on time

In a shed in Veldhoven, the members of carnival (carnaval) association De Brassers work hard every evening. Another week and a half and then their float for the Lampegat parade must be ready.

Glueing and varnishing. That’s what the members are doing right now. And that means the necessary stress, so shortly before the carnaval festivities begin. Studio040 took a look at the work:

“It is cold but it is very nice to work together on the float. With some drinks and snacks and a laugh it is very ‘gezellig’. Evening after evening we are here.”

Together with wall paper glue, old telephone directories are the most popular material to build up the statues for the float. “They don’t produce them anymore so we use them sparingly”.

“We like to keep it a secret how our float will look like. Come to the float parade in Veldhoven and you will see it.”

In the whole of the Netherlands but mostly in Brabant and Limburg there are carnival floats (optocht) during ‘Carnaval’ (17-21 February). There all cities and villages have their own parade made by local carnival associations or groups. Here you can have a look per town.

No shortage of offerings on Koningsdag. There is plenty to do in the city for young and old. There are parties with different music styles. If you prefer to take it easy, there are plenty of free markets and terraces.

More than 50 Teslas perform light show at Evoluon

Cars dancing to the rhythm of music combined with a light show. It sounds like something from the future, but was nevertheless a reality at the Evoluon on Friday night. More than 50 Tesla cars performed a show in this location.

The performance at the Evoluon is part of the Global Tesla Light Show. The project is organised by Brit Simon Pollock, in which some 18 clubs from around the world participate.

A light show was given using the cars’ headlights. The Tesla cars also moved along to the music by moving the windows and electric tailgate.

Those dancing cars were captured on camera. All those videos from around the world will be compiled into a video clip. That music video will be released this weekend.

Come hear the story of ‘Earthly Survival’

Come hear the story of ‘Earthly Survival’

Want to hear an intriguing view of life? On Thursday, 7 February, The MU artspace in Eindhoven is screening a short film called ‘Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival’.

This English, 82-minute long film will give the viewer a peek into this important, contemporary thinker’s train of thoughts. Professor Donna Haraway used to teach in the Departments of  History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies at the University of California in America.

In the ’80s, she became known for her work in the area of gender identity and technology. She broke away from the prevailing trends and opened the door to bold transfeminism. With her work, this influential scientist, feminist, and lover of science-fiction bridges the gap between science and fiction.

Filmmaker, Fabrizio Terranova, sought Haraway out at her home in California. He just about moved in with her for a few weeks. Terranova did this so he could produce a unique documentary about Haraway. The result is said to be a rare, candid, intellectual portrait of a woman many consider to be a highly original thinker.

This once-off screening will be held at the MU artspace at 40-06 Torenallee. Doors open at 19:30 and the film will start at 20:00. Tickets, which are available at Eventbrite, cost €7,50. Students only have to pay €5.
