Musician in a ‘shop window’ visits nursing homes

On Tuesday afternoon, rapper Glen Faria paid a surprise visit to the Peppelrode nursing home in Eindhoven.

The moving shop window is an initiative of the De Bijenkorf retail chain. By visiting the elderly at home, singer Faria and the department store want to give the residents a sense of togetherness. The ‘window’ went to Maastricht too.

Faria played piano and sang his song ‘Goed dat je er bent’ (‘Nice to have you’). That’s also Eindhoven’s slogan. “While writing it, I was inspired by the images of the empty streets. These are usually nice gathering spots for people,” Faria says.

Budget for Koningsdag in Eindhoven: €1.75 million

Budget for Koningsdag in Eindhoven: €1.75 million

This year, €1.75 million will be set aside for the organisation of Koningsdag (King’s Day), the city council said. This year, the Royal Family will be visiting Eindhoven.

The lion’s share of the money will go to the programme and production. This includes stages, lighting, sound, decorations, and business management. Because this year’s celebration will be different due to the pandemic, the programme is partly digital. To make that possible, extra money has been reserved for insurance.

Secret locations
The Mayor and Aldermen wrote: “It will not be a traditional Koningsdag with a physical route through the city. Due to corona, we want as few visitors in the city as possible. We are assuming the physical presence of the Royal Family, but at closed and secret locations. We see viewers at home more as ‘participants’, they can participate interactively.”

Huge job
The council says the event, which is no small feat, will be good for the city’s image and marketing. ‘The preparation time is short and the challenges are great. We will need a digital platform that is robust and secure enough for an event of this magnitude. And we will have to comply with the corona measures that will be in place at that time’.

The budget for Koningsdag is largely funded by the municipality, with provincial authorities also contributing.

Large venues may open conditionally

Several large venues can open their doors to the public again this month.

That’s following a government announcement. On Tuesday, the cabinet said it’s starting pilot projects to test accessibility tests practical effects. So, stadiums, venues and casinos in the country may reopen.

In the region, this concerns the Muziekgebouw, Natlab, Parktheater, Effenaar, and Jack Casino. PSV is also allowed to welcome fans again during the next home match against FC Groningen. That’s after months of lockdown.

Venues can hold some events under certain conditions. For example, visitors must have proof of a negative COVID-19 test the cabinet has announced.

Music, sport, and gambling

From 16 to 18 April, the Muziekgebouw (350), Natlab (42) and Parktheater (250) are allowed to admit visitors. On 24 April, it’s Jacks Casino’s turn, with 350 visitors. On that day, PSV is permitted to receive 4,000 supporters for the game against FC Groningen.

For the other professional football club in the city, FC Eindhoven, a maximum of 450 fans applies on 30 April. The first division club then plays against FC Den Bosch. That weekend, 130 people can also visit the Effenaar. The Eindhoven music venue will let people who want to attend an event know in advance what to do.

“It’s good news, but it really surprised us,” PSV commercial director, Frans Janssen, says. “We’re happy about this. But, it naturally raises many questions.”

“For our fans, but certainly for us too. We’ll now consult with the authorities concerned. Then we’ll communicate how we deal with this situation.”

Commemoration cancelled

Every year, on 4 May, the Netherlands remembers its dead. Those who have died in wars or peacekeeping missions since the beginning of the Second World War.

And every year, women and children’s who have perished are commemorated at the VrouwenVredesmonument (Women’s Peace Monument) on Parklaan. But, not this year. “The reasons for this are obvious and need no further explanation,” the Eindhoven Stichting Vredesburo (Peace Office Foundation), writes on their website.

They organise this annual event. The organising committee does, however, call for a personal commemoration. “It shouldn’t pass by silently.”

‘More relevant than ever’

“The people who attend every year should feel that it doesn’t matter. On the contrary, we consider it more relevant than ever. Women are still disproportionately affected by violence.”

“We hope everyone will find a chance to take pause in their own way and find a way to express themselves. Lay a flower, write a poem, compose a song. Use the (social media) channels that are available,” says the organisation.

Eindhoven’s Peace Office Foundation wants people to remember all these fallen souls in a special way. “Carry out the message that violence can’t be justified. One victim is one too many.”

“We hope to meet at the monument again next year. But this year, everyone will have to have their own small commemoration,” writes the foundation. For information about this Eindhoven commemoration, please contact the Peace Bureau.

Eindhoven-based artist wins Award

The Eindhoven artist and designer Bart Hess received the Design Award 2021 of the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Noord-Brabant. He gained international fame with a slime dress he designed for Lady Gaga and his ‘body sculptures’ for the Dutch National Opera & Ballet.

The jury was full of praise for his work. “Whoever enters the world of Bart Hess is permanently touched. Performances so close to reality, yet so far removed from it, bring about alienation that gets under the skin”.

Ina Adema, the Queen’s Commissioner and chairman of the Cultuurfonds Noord-Brabant (North Brabant Culture Fund), presented the Design Prize to the Eindhoven native at the Design Museum in Den Bosch. At the same time, a presentation was opened that had been put together by Bart Hess. Not with work by the artist himself, who was born in 1984, but he has decided to give up-and-coming talents a stage. Specifically Fransje Gimbrère, Joep Truijen and HIPS (Clémentine Schmidt & Josse Vessies).

Their work can be seen until 19 September.

Alternative to Brabantsedag

This year, there will be a kind of Brabantsedag, after all. A more sombre set-up with theatre and many food stalls. That’s what the organisers of the theatre festival in Heeze have announced.

At the end of April, the board had announced that the event would be cancelled for the second time in a row. The reason for the decision was the ‘unpredictable course of the corona crisis’. Now that corona measures are being relaxed, some things are possible at the end of August.

‘Having to miss out twice in a row is hard to swallow for Heeze, the float building groups and the hundreds of volunteers. That’s why there will be an alternative; no big public event, but a nice, pleasant weekend,” the Brabantsedag foundation writes.

As an alternative, the 16 float-building groups will each build their own theatre kitchen. In it, they’ll prepare and serve a menu in a theatrical manner. There are also musicians to make the party more enjoyable.

More information can be found on this website.
