What is really happening? This was the question associate artist ANOHNI put at the centre for this edition of the Holland Festival. She put together an especially comprehensive and varied programme in which she brought attention to a wide range of themes, from feminism to ecological catastrophes. She reflected on the fraught history of Gerrit van der Veenstraat with the captivating concert The Disintegration Loops (for Euterpestraat), which included a orchestral performance of William Basinski’s tapeloops.

Julian Rosefeldt’s impressive installation Euphoria was featured at the Central Market Hall for over two weeks. And in Meredith Monk and Laurie Anderson, the festival brought two of the greatest women in contemporary music to Amsterdam.
