‘Dag van de Empathie’ 26-04-’13 May 3, Izaline will perform at the Mozes en Aäronchurch in Amsterdam.
On the eve of the Dutch National Remembrance and Liberation Day, a special event called the ‘Dag van de Empathie’ (Day of Empathy) is organized in Amsterdam.
Goal of this event is to create understanding and awareness of cultural and ethnic differences within Dutch society, with a varied program of speeches, music, poetry and art.
Izaline wil play next to other performances of Abdelkader Benali, Rina Mushonga, de Vluchtkerk and many more.
New theatre show 2013 26-04-’13 In collaboration with the ‘Volksoperahuis’ Izaline is preparing a new theatre-show. Jörgen Raymann could be contracted for this production to act as storyteller. Izaline is musically supported by string-quartet Dudok, two percussion-players and Ed verhoeff on guitar.
The show will run on different theatres and theatre festivals this summer and fall in The Netherlands. It is called ‘Mosa Nena and Buchi Fil’ and tells a story that is based on a poem of Curaçao-born poet Pierre Lauffer (1920-1981). This poem has been an inspiration for Izaline before. For ‘Kanta Hélele’ (2006) she composed ‘The Balad Of Mosa Nena’.
In 2012, Izaline started to work with the ‘Volksoperahuis’. She was then invited to star in ‘Tambú, a freedom song’ that was programmed on the famous Oerol-festival on Terschelling, a cooperation that triggered her to initiate this new production.
In writer/musician Jef Hofmeister and director Kees Scholten of the ‘Volksoperahuis’ she got the support she needed to tell the complete story of the dramatic love of two slaves, Buchi Fill and Mosa Nena. In this new version, the story is historically placed in the late 18th century, and turns out to have a surprising follow-up.
For this theatrical concert both Izaline and Jef Hofmeister are composing new material. Check out the SCHEDULE for dates and places.
