Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Kids)
…where you lie now, on the ground, there used to be water…
…welcome, does everyone have a place? Pillows too and so on…
…You lie quietly here, but in the city a lot is happening…
…Canto Ostinato. That’s Italian. Canto…song, Ostinato, over and over again. On two wings. Enchanting, contains secret…
…well, this IS a recital®. A recumbent concert® means that you don’t have to sit up straight. You don’t have to look at the stage. You can just lie down, and you can even close your eyes! How wonderful do you want it!….
…how nice – lying down and listening to music. If you listen carefully, you can hear the whales playing along…
…the walls of this square, if only they could talk… and tell what they have seen. This square has seen so much beauty….
…all those people then and now. And now these walls suddenly see and hear a lot of children, lying under a thousand stars…
…This is a unique opportunity to set a world record, because I’m sure this has never been done before: the world record CUSHING!!!
