Ryswyck

Flemish folkmusic in urban context

Ik neem een bad in de Schelde
Hoeveel tol aan de poort van de haven?
Vaar ik op helden?
Zien we meer dan alleen wie boven komt drijven?

 

Ryswyck is a pop concert in the shape of a lecture performance. An attempt by two Dutch artists to understand the Flemish battle for emancipation. A quest though dusty archives, newspaper articles, and covert pornographic figments of the imagination. In conversation with historians, activists and politicians. Portrayed in contemporary, electronic versions of the song Scheldelied.
