Project Man - Lecture & songs

Exploring male identity as a landscape

In Project Man, visual artist Othilia Verdurmen explores male identity and the human body as a landscape. This resulted in 5 impressive sculptures, each with its own character: from the adventurous Odysseus to the tender Koperen Man.

Singer and composer Ilse van de Kasteelen translated these figures into 5 musical portraits, the lyrics of which will be available during the concert. The performance is provided by Ilse, together with cellist Viola de Hoog and flutist Janine Abbas. Together, they bring image and music into a special dialogue.

Introduction

Prior to the concert, Othilia will give an introduction at 8:00 PM with illustrations and photos, in which she explains the creative process behind this versatile project. The concert begins at 8:30 PM.
