Those who could afford it in the 17th and 18th centuries celebrated theatrical exuberance. Ellen ten Damme dreams away in frivolous transience and holds court in BAROCK, a performance in line with her successful shows PARIS-BERLIN and CASABLANCA. The Netherlands’ most versatile singer presents a tragédie lyrique that goes further back in time than ever before and yet is completely contemporary. We are allowed to do more and want even more and everyone knows they are the centre of their own entourage, like a rock star in Versailles. Tinsel glitters on social media and the beautiful appearance is dazzling. Behind the façade, the troubadour observes the empress’ crinoline and leads the dance as if the morning will never come.
After successful seasons and rave reviews, Ellen ten Damme invites you once again to join her court. Her show BAROCK is a multilingual bal demasqué full of surprising and recognizable songs where the scabrous excesses are just as rousing as the dark sides are captivating.
