Willem Boogman: Een Oog in Zee

‘An eye in the sea’ is a music theater production by Stichting Noorderklank. The 75 minutes lasting work presents a contemporary version of the myth of Ariadne and Theseus. Salomé Roodenburg’s libretto tells the story from Ariadne’s perspective as an ‘eye’ on the truth ‘in a sea’ of lies and manipulations with which some rulers impose their will on the people. The music theater production offers a new context for Haydn’s Arianna a Naxos, which has been integrated into a new composition by Willem Boogman.

When you think of Indonesia, the spicy scents of the oriental kitchen probably come to mind. But perhaps also wajang puppets, chirping monkeys swinging through the jungle, or a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Or the traditional dances in beautiful clothing.
