Holland Festival presents: HARDKOOR – Naomi Velissariou

HARDKOOR is a stand-up tragedy concert, a stream of self-consciousness set to techno, trip-hop, and choral music. A single mother and artist withdraws from public life for a year leading up to her fortieth birthday. From the standstill of her burnout (which she sees as a crisis of the entire system, both physically, mentally, and spiritually), she fights against the pressure of time, against the images she tries to escape by either conforming to them or not, and against her excessive self-awareness and self-criticism. Through a personal ordeal in language, music, and movement, she carves a path to a shameless existence, where the never-ending search for affirmation makes way for radical self-love and a not-so-boring balance.
