‘De-humanize’, the new play from internationals

‘De-humanize’, the new play from internationals

Would you like to live forever? And if yes, do you believe you would still remain the same? This is the central plot around (DE) HUMANIZE, this year’s English theatrical performance by the International Theater Collective Eindhoven (ITCE) in Pand-P.

In 2015, ITCE presented its first full-length play, the Outsiders, performed by expats in Eindhoven. The play was a success with four sold-out performances. Empowered by this success, this year, the ITCE Foundation presents its new play: (DE) HUMANIZE on 1 to 4 May.

The show is based on the idea that in the not-too-distant future, it might be possible – through revolutions in biotechnology – to choose whether we live forever or not. But how will that affect the human side of us? The show’s main ideas touch on eternal life, human values, and the constant need for development. In the era of continuous technological evolution and the intense rhythms of modern life, is it useful sometimes to pause, take a step back, and ask ourselves: Has technology changed us so much that we are in danger of losing our humanity? Do we take time to appreciate our surroundings and our relationships?

The actors come from nine different countries: Italy, Spain, Greece, Moldova, India, Turkey, France, Canada, and the Netherlands. Most of the internationals came to Eindhoven to work or study or followed their partner. The writer and director of the play, Geert Niland, is a veteran in the theatre world, with over 27 years of experience with professional and amateur actors. His ambition is to create something engaging for the expat community, which hopefully brings it together with the Dutch. The diverse mix of nationalities and cultures (including Dutch) has an obvious influence on the play. The hopes and fears of each person about the present and the future shaped the play in a unique way.

Dates and time:  1, 2, 3, 4 May, 20:30 – 22:30

Admission: €14.50

Location: Pand P, Leenderweg 65, 5614 HL Eindhoven

More information can be found on the Parktheater website or their facebook event.

Children to participate in King’s Games in Eindhoven

Nearly 3,500 children will participate in the traditional King’s Games in Eindhoven next Friday. This is a week earlier than the national King’s Games, because the May holidays start a week earlier in the south of the country.

During the King’s Games, sports and fun are central for primary school students. In Eindhoven, approximately 3,450 students from 24 different schools participate in the event. On Friday they will be introduced to sports such as hockey, gymnastics, rugby, handball, free running, beach volleyball and padel at various sports parks in the city.

Starting gun

The Eindhoven King Games will be opened this year at Sportpark Eindhoven-Noord by sports councillor Maes van Lansschot. He gives the starting signal for the students at ten o’clock in the morning. They then start their day with the national King’s Games dance by Children for Children. This is followed by a day full of sportsmanship.

Next Friday there will not only be sports, but also clothing collected for the DRIP Foundation. This organisation ensures that children from Eindhoven, regardless of their financial situation, have second-hand sportswear at their disposal. The foundation has several collection boxes during the games where parents and children can donate their sportswear.

Discover

This year the national theme ‘Discover’ is central, with the focus on discovering what you don’t know yet. This includes exercise, food and drink. According to the organisation, this way students find out what suits them best.

CKE celebrates 100-year anniversary

CKE (Centrum voor de Kunsten Eindhoven, or Centre for the Arts Eindhoven) celebrates its 100-year anniversary this weekend.

CKE has planned various events throughout 2020 to celebrate its anniversary. Its celebrations also form part of the wider 100-year anniversary celebration of Eindhoven as a city.

With its celebrations, CKE hopes to reach ‘people who want to experience art and culture for the first time,’ explains Dorothé Kuijten, who works at CKE.

Café C Live!

On Friday evening, Monique List, a local councillor who oversees cultural projects in Eindhoven, will officially open CKE’s year of celebrations. This includes Café C Live!, where she will be the pub quiz master at the CKE location of Pastoor Petersstraat.

Café C Live! will be held every Friday at 8pm this year. Dorothé describes it as ‘something active and cultural in a very accessible way. A combination of music, live entertainment, drinks and snacks’. There will also be music-themed bingo games and sing-a-longs.

Open day

This Saturday, CKE hosts an open day from 2pm to 5pm for anyone who wants to learn more about their lessons, courses and workshops. All kinds of disciplines are on offer, from music to dance, visual arts, photography, theatre, musicals and creative writing.

On Sunday, CKE hosts a day for amateur arts. Various amateur artists and associations will make a crossover project and will perform the end result to an audience. Some surprising crossovers will be made, such as a theatre company performing alongside a church choir.

Transformation

CKE has undergone many transformations over the past 100 years. It began life in 1920 as the Eindhoven Music School Foundation. In 1989, it merged with the Ballet and Movement Foundation to become the Centre for Music and Dance.

A year later, it merged with the Eindhoven Foundation for Art Education, finally becoming the Centre for the Arts Eindhoven (CKE) that we know today. Throughout these years, it also moved to several different locations throughout the city.

CKE aims to show people in Eindhoven that art and culture is accessible and is suitable for every person and budget.

Come and learn about the Dutch schools in Meerhoven

Come and learn about the Dutch schools in Meerhoven

More likely than not, the number one issue for parents moving to a new country is finding a school for their child that fits best their child and family’s needs.

It can become very stressful to learn about the new educational system and regulations and local habits. Not to mention practicalities related to an ordinary school day and, of course, the language issue. This is why Meerhoven Internationals Platform is organising an Education Event on Saturday, 23 June, between 09:30 and 12:30.

They are doing this in cooperation with local schools and kindergarten. The purpose of the event is to provide information about the Dutch educational system and childcare to international parents living in the Meerhoven area. During the event representatives of Meerhoven primary schools, ‘t Slingertouw, Startbaan, and the Korein Kinderplein nursery school will all hold presentations in English about their child-care and child education facilities. There will then be an opportunity for questions.

Korein Kinderplein has very generously agreed to provide free childcare during the whole event for those who will bring their children along. If you would like to attend, please register with the Meerhoven Internationals Platform on their facebook page or by emailing internationals@meerhoven.nl.

The venue still has to be determined.

Van Gogh painting from ‘Nuenen period’ briefly on display

From next month, one of Vincent van Gogh’s Nuenen works will be on display in Den Bosch. It is a portrait of farmer Gordina, one of The Potato Eaters.

The work can be seen in the Noordbrabants Museum for six months from January 15. A wealthy Chinese man managed to acquire the painting at an auction in London for more than 6 million euros. The Den Bosch museum could not afford this, but the management could make arrangements to borrow the work ‘Head of a woman’ from 1885.

The Potato Eaters

Model Gordina de Groot is one of the people depicted on De Aardappeleters (The Potato Eaters). According to the museum, the canvas is a ‘beautiful representation with attention to expression, brushwork and color composition’. “Only in Brabant does Gordina’s deep gaze have real meaning for people,” says director Jacqueline Grandjean.

Van Gogh and Gordina had a close bond. When she turned out to be pregnant as an unmarried woman, Van Gogh was even mistakenly assumed to be the father.

Geldrop quiz is still on

The fourth edition of the Geldrop Dorpsquiz (town’s quiz) will go ahead in November as planned.

That’s despite the new anti-corona measures. The games have been adjusted in such a way as to meet the Dutch Health Department’s rules. That’s what the organisers say on their website.

“We have several scenarios in mind that we can implement, depending on the rules.” This year there will be hardly any assignments given in advance. There’ll only be a registration assignment and a quiz evening.

Like every year, the organisers have given a taste of what’s to come. This year’s it’s, “In November 2008, Pastor Felie Spooren wrote the foreword in which book about the men in Dongen”. Registration open on Saturday, 27 June on the website

The town quiz will take place on Saturday, 21 November. Please note, it’s in Dutch.

‘Old but not old-fashioned’: DAF Museum honours Italian designer

‘Old but not old-fashioned’: DAF Museum honours Italian designer

The DAF Museum dedicates an exhibition to the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. The designer was of great importance for the appearance of DAF’s passenger cars.

Michelotti designed more than 1,200 cars for Alfa Romeo, BMW and Fiat, among others. For DAF, the Italian designed the DAF 44, the first DAF car to be produced in Born, in the factory where VDL subsidiary NedCar is now located.

“Michelotti has been enormously decisive for the appearance of the passenger car”, Geert Vermeer, chairman of the DAF Museum, says. “He not only was important for DAF, but for the whole car industry. He is one of the most important Italian car designers. That’s why the great thing about the exhibition is the amount of sketches we can show of what eventually became the DAF 44, but he also laid the first hands on the DAF 77, which eventually became the Volvo 343”, Vermeer says.

Glass surface
Vermeer is clear about what made Michelotti stand out. “The DAF 44 is one of the first cars that did not have a grill at the front. It did have a grill, but it was under the bumper. Moreover, it was one of the cars with the largest surface area of glass in its time. All in all, it is a timeless design. It is an old car, of course, but it is not old-fashioned”, Vermeer says.

There is also another special feature to the exhibition, according to Vermeer. “It is the first time that cars are exhibited that are not made by DAF, which is unique for us”, Vermeer says.

The exhibition starts on Saturday 16 October, 100 years after Michelotti’s birthday. His son Edgardo Michelotti will be present at the opening of the exhibition.

Philips Museum to open with special exhibition

When the relaxation of the anti-corona measures takes effect on 1 June, the Philips Museum will also open its doors.

Just over a week later, on Tuesday, 9 June, the museum will also open a new exhibition called ‘Eendracht maakt macht’ (‘Unity creates power’). The exhibition shows visitors how, from the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Eindhoven, together with Philips and PSV, grew into the current metropolitan area. The story is of how a modest Dutch town became a high-tech international region, from Frits Philips’ point of view.

The museum also has a modest first – for the first time, people can go on an audio tour. It is voiced by Dutch television and film actor, Frank Lammers. The museum opens its doors on Monday, 1 June, at 12:00. Anyone who wants to visit the museum must buy online tickets.

People must also follow other safety rules. There are, unfortunately, no guided tours.
