Book of Premonitions brings together the imaginations, thoughts and dreams of more than 200 minds who happen to be 11-12 years old.
Through cirriculum engagement, a new form of deconstructed opera emerges, opening space for placemaking through the score object itself. The score for the opera is co-written by students together with support from the school and our own in house team. Later, this score (viewable below) is realised into a interdisciplinary production; with actors, musicians, tap dancer, robot-builder, ecological designer and more coming together to transmit the messages of young people to a live audience.
“Er spelen veel volwassenen in voorstellingen met teksten gemaakt vóór kinderen, maar er spelen nauwelijks volwassenen in een voorstelling met teksten gemaakt dóór kinderen.”
More recently, Book of Premonitions travelled to Mexico to collaborate with Neofonia: Festival de Musica Nueva Ensenada. A week of masterclasses was gievn, resulting in a one hour a capella performance. The company will return to Mexico in 2025.
