Staan & Opvallen

NKK NXT 19/20

Filmcafe, Utrecht. Ensemble performance

How often do you look in the mirror? Do you want to stand out, or do you prefer to blend in with the crowd? And why do so many women pursue the same beauty ideal? STAAN AND OPVALLEN is the performance of NKK NXT19/20, the talent development program of the Nederlands Kamerkoor. A performance about female strength and the female voice, about blending in and standing out. About a modern age in which everyone seems to work in overload by default, but where we look for silence. Nine young singers take up the challenge to create a new performance where the future of ensemble music is central. In a society in which everyone carries a pocket-sized digital mirror, NKK NXT holds up a different mirror to both the public and society. STANDING AND STANDING OUT is recognizable, funny, at times painful, and above all moving.
