'Onégin’s overture lasts about two minutes: that’s all it takes to fall in love with opera.'
MENEER ZWOEI (MR. ZWOEI)
A children’s music production for 6 years +
Mr. Zwoei lives in a workshop filled with flutes. Four puppets are delivered to play these flutes, they come to life in doing so. However, the problem is they don’t play what Mr. Zwoei has in mind, nor can he make them... One day a chest appears in the workshop. How does it open? And, is ‘the thing’ in it the answer to his problems?
The audience joins in. Everyone gets involved. The music provides hilarious moments. Michiel Mensingh wrote music for recorder quartet. It changes from a funk and rap fugue to a sturdy ghetto blaster beat. With Saskia Coolen's compositions the musicians pinch each other’s instruments, and her Vivaldi adaptation provides significance to works that are mostly considered common place.
