Baldachin Festival

Yes, the worst can be beautiful and the bad can be very good.
But how good can the bad be? What is awkward? And how lovely can recorders sound when played by amateurs? This year’s edition of Baldachin invites everyone to come along and explore these questions with us. And there’s more: We also want to find out something about saying “Hello”, “Goodbye”, “Ja Ja Ja” and “Ne Ne Ne”. All beautiful things, by the way. We’ll make music by drawing random things and using everyday objects as instruments. In between it all, there will be lights, whispering. And on stage Koko Cappelle and Chris Imler, tearing the place apart with lyrics and beats. And in the end we dance. See you there Team Baldachin
