THE RECORD AT NOORDERZON, documentary movie

April 23rd, 18.30-19.00

During the 2014 edition of the Noorderzon festival 600 HIGHWAYMEN, a USA company, gathered 50 (local) “strangers” through auditions and invited them to perform. Collectively, they created a performance called The Record – woven together from individual choreographies they were taught and assembled for the first time on stage during the premiere. The Record is a unique experience not only for the performers but also for the audience that characterized the performance as fragile, beautiful and, above all, human. The Record at Noorderzon is a documentary movie about the making of the performance and focuses on a few individuals from audition to premiere. It is a testimonial of the great path on which the volunteers, the artists and the festival embarked together.
