Preparations have started for our new big co-production with Club Guy & Roni. Night Watch will be a full-length spectacle with a fantastic leading role for Jack Wouterse. A pitch black, primal and deeply sad play that deals with themes such as family, emancipation and authority through old age and death.
Together with Asko|Schönberg, Nederlands Kamerkoor and NKK Next, HIIIT is providing the music, composed by Luke Deane and David Dramm. Percussionist Niels Meliefste is developing a typical Old Dutch instrument especially for the performance; in addition to a barrel organ, a special drum will be made by the English firm Henry Potter & Co. – a replica of the drum seen in Rembrandt’s painting The Night Watch.
Find out if we are coming to watch over your neighborhood too.
On Monday, February 10, you can visit the public rehearsal, there are a number of try-outs starting March 6, and the premiere will take place on Saturday, March 15 in Groningen. The full playlist can be found here.
