Pynarello | Macho's

The performance in brief

Pynarello dives into the world of Southern European baroque and puts everything on edge in a musical battle full of energy, contrast and surprises.

Macho or anti-macho

What is a macho anyway? Are machos always men? And can a macho also be sensitive? In this program all clichés are examined, magnified and turned upside down in a playful clash between ideas, styles and performers.

Battle on stage

The stage turns into an arena in which musicians, a breakdancer and composers compete against each other. From virtuoso baroque music by Vivaldi and Tartini to new compositions by violinist Jeffrey Bruinsma, who explores precisely the anti-macho.

From baroque to hip hop

Cellist Lidy Blijdorp shows the vulnerable side of machismo with music by Barbara Strozzi, while breakdancer Neo Jansen shows how baroque and hip-hop effortlessly merge. What begins as a struggle ends in a celebration in which everything comes together.
