Rosa Ensemble
The Rosa Ensemble operates in between: in between composed and improvised, in between music and theatre, in between light and serious, in between acoustic and electronic, traditional and experimental, classical and popular. The ensemble was founded in 1997 with the performance Diepe Wildernis, based on the book by Brazilian writer Guimaraes Rosa. Currently ‘Rosa Ensemble’ means several things: music/theatre, concerts and the annual Rosa sub Rosa project. Whether one calls it arty pop music or popular art music, the Rosa Ensemble is the Rosa Ensemble: for those who like exciting music, eclectic seldom sounded so self-evident. read more
2010: Rosa Ensemble & Jan Jaap van der Wal
De Kellner en de Levenden
Foto: Edda Grol
De Kellner en de Levenden ("The Waiter and the Living") is a piece about atonement, taking responsibility and making choices. Jan Jaap van der Wal performs as he does best: snappy, critical and intelligent. The combination with Rosa’s music creates a sharp-witted, at times ominous and humorous correlation between music theatre, comedy and literature.
September/October 2010: Dutch tour.
