The Luther Museum presents 'Bachweek: one man show', a captivating musical theater performance led by soprano and maker Linde Schinkel. This production delves into the complexities of masculinity through a unique interdisciplinary approach. Two women use humor and sharp insight to play with perceptions of manhood, employing everyday objects and baroque singing as the foundation for layered theatrical play. The performance culminates surprisingly with the music of Bach, whose compositions evoke emotion through form and contrast, making the human search for meaning palpable without explicit storytelling. Bach's inner conflicts and spiritual struggles resonate deeply with the exhibition's themes, highlighting both the persistence and fluidity of masculinity. The VOX Muziektheater, under Schinkel's artistic direction, is known for its visual music theater language, merging classical singing with object theater to create playful, sensory, and layered works that are accessible yet artistically uncompromising. This specific show features theater maker/dramaturg Martine van Ditzhuyzen and guitarist David Mackor alongside Linde Schinkel. Visitors can attend the performance starting at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:30 PM. Practical information regarding the music theater on Friday, June 12th, is provided, directing attendees to the Luther Museum.
