'True Love — A Song Cycle'
Renkse Vrolijke
True Love for soprano and piano by composer Renske Vrolijk explores the charged intersection of religion, politics, and gender. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, the cycle confronts the impact of Christian Nationalism on women’s rights in the US through music. Soprano Bauwien van der Meer and pianist Cecilia Boschman perform a selection of songs, followed by a conversation between Renske and Manon Portos Minetti, scholar in American Studies at Leiden University, specializing in fundamentalist American evangelical right-wing movements. Come listen, come question, come experience.
Event format: this is a festival-style experience programmed across two simultaneous rooms at Pakhuis de Zwijger. Your ticket is your passport: choose your own adventure through sessions on whatever topics interest you. Attend a deep-dive analysis, catch a provocative discussion, enjoy live music, or move between rooms as conversations evolve. Expect short talks by experts and panels diving into a wide variety of topics, live music, reflections on the most memorable moments of the campaign, and the big question: What does this mean not only for the United States, but for Europe? Stay for one session or stay for all.
