A short documentary about Goldband’s DRAAGVLAK project is now available online, offering a view behind the floating dinner concert held on the Hofvijver in July.
The Hague band developed the work for the fifth Kunstparade Binnenhofrenovatie. Goldband performed with an ensemble from the Residentie Orkest for invited guests whose experiences reflected the feeling of not always being seen or heard by government.
Municipal and national government staff served a three-course meal. The project centred on meeting, listening and personal contact, while its unusual setting also raised questions about who could see, hear and take part.
Filmmaker Julia Sterre Schmitz followed preparations, rehearsals and the concert, working with Ton van Zantvoort and producer Newton Film. The documentary includes performances and contributions from guests about what the evening meant to them.
The municipality says Omroep West will also broadcast the film on 12 December from 17:00, repeated hourly until 17:00 the following day.
The project information is in Dutch. English subtitles for the documentary have not been confirmed.
