opening Dejima bridge
2017
openingsceremony for Dejima Omotemonbashi bridge in Nagasaki 24-11 2017
directed by Mioko Yoshihara, performed by 17 kids and Armand van den Hamer
hollandkyushu.com
Omotemon-bashi Bridge
The Omotemon-bashi Bridge connected the artificial island of Dejima, located in Nagasaki bay, with the mainland of Nagasaki between 1641 and 1853, the period in which the Netherlands was the only Western country permitted to trade with Japan. The bridge disappeared after Dejima lost its purpose at the end of the 19th century when the country opened its ports. As a result, Nagasaki developed into a large port city and Dejima was swallowed up by the city. With the completion of the bridge, the original point of access to Dejima will be restored for the first time in 130 years.
The symbolic meaning of the bridge is tremendous: Nagasaki’s identity is largely based on the historical presence of Dutch people among them. Local citizens are also proud of the fact that goods and knowledge from all over the world were brought into the country via the wharf of their small seaport and the Omotemon-bashi Bridge, and vice versa, Japanese products were internationally exported via the same narrow bridge.
Ceremony
The climax of the Holland-Kyushu regional focus was the completion of the Omotemon-bashi, which was also the occasion for a visit by Princess Laurentien to Nagasaki. On November 24, the official opening ceremony of the new Omotemon-bashi Bridge took place. Princess Laurentien attended together with Prince and Princess Akishino. The ceremony started at 3:00 pm and was opened by the mayor of Nagasaki, Mr. Tomihisa Ta’ue, who thanked the embassy and DutchCulture in his speech for their contributions to the cultural life of the city, and was followed by speeches of Princess Laurentien (attached below) and Prince Akishino. The traditional ribbon cutting was done by the three royal highnesses, together with a group of VIPs including the governor and mayor of Nagasaki, the mayor of Leiden, Ambassador Jacobi, Ambassador for Cultural Cooperation Uijterlinde, Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) commissioner Jeroen Nijland, and local authorities.
After the cut, the audience was treated to a performance on the bridge, with children moving from the ‘landside’ as well as the ‘Dejimaside’ of Nagasaki meeting at the centre of the bridge. Afterwards they invited the VVIPs to cross the bridge together. Modern dancers Mioko Yoshihara from Nagasaki and Armand van den Hamer from the Netherlands, provided the choreography, which received great response from the audience.

Girovago
2017
Girovago
Reborn from worn out times, an artist wanders into the
room.
The Italian poet, Ungaretti wrote his poem Girovago (vagabond) after
fighting as a soldier in World War I, where he is wandering around in a broken world, seeking to be
reborn in an innocent land.
Now his poem is the leitmotif for the 5 challenged
artists from different disciplines participating in this one week project.
One after the other, with less than 23 hours to work, will present their
artistic interpretation of the poem, Girovago. Each artist will have the space
from the previous artist as a starting point. （The first evening will be a
kick-off event, where each participant will bring some material for the first
person.）
Each evening at 20:00 the audience will
witness the transformation of the space and will be granted a very interesting
look into the artistic process
of each artist.
すりきれた時間から再生し、アーティストはその空間にさまよい入る。
イタリアの詩人ウンガレッティは、自身が第一次大戦から帰還したのち、生まれ変わることのできる罪なき国を求め、壊れてしまった世界をさまよう自らの姿を「Girovago」（ジローヴァゴ/放浪者）という詩の中で詠いました。
今回、この詩をライトモティーフとして、分野の異なる5人のアーティストが挑戦・参加する１週間のアートプロジェクト：「Girovago ジローヴァゴ」を開催します。
各アーティストが一日ひとりずつ23時間以内で「Girovago ジローヴァゴ」をテーマに作品を制作、翌日午後8時に発表し、２日目以降のアーティストは、前日の作品を制作の出発点とする形式をとります。（第一夜は、各自が初回担当者へ素材を持ち寄る、キックオフイベントとなります。）
毎夜午後８時に作品が発表されるごとに、観覧者の皆さんには、それぞれのアーティストによって同じ空間が日々どのように変貌していくか、楽しんでいただけることと思います。

Requiem for a Cosmonaut
2014
foto: Charlotte Brouckaert
“Being human means nothing when you’re alone.”
A meditative psychological science fiction crystallizing around the experiences of a cosmonaut on board of a disintegrating spaceship.
The cosmonaut, symbol of the greatest height of progression of the modern era, becomes the victim of his own success. Doomed to fall down in Icarus style, the cosmonaut is fighting a lost battle to prevent the collapse of the system on which he depends.
Surrealistically permeated with sounds and images from the time of the Renaissance, this solo performance also proposes a reflection on man's timeless longing to unify himself with his universe.
Dedicated to Erwin, who navigated so beautiful in extremely bad weather.
Met dank aan Roxane Huilmand, Wolfgang Kolb, Sammy Dellicour, Nicole Mossoux, Patrick Bonté
