Small Steps is an opera-walk. It leads the visitor

along the water that connected Amsterdam

to the rest of the world for centuries.

Over the headphone they hear a girl.

She shows us how she sees the world

and she wonders where it is heading.

"What is your wish for the world?"

The opera strives to bring people together,

without them having to physically meet,

and to inspire them to see the world

and its people with fresh and curious eyes.

To explore the world anew, step by step...

Please get in touch for the audio file and map.

The Throat Manoeuvre is a music theatre,

a collaboration between Zephyr Brüggen and myself.

It explores the effect of physical movement

on the singing voice

and it tries to answer the question:

how do we communicate, how do we break a system,

if there is no spoken language?

"Waarover men niet spreken kan, moet men zingen."

"The thing one cannot talk about,

one should sing about."



Liefs, Frieda
