Theatre Church Nes

Exhibition
4 Sep - 31 Oct 2021

In 2018, De Hoekstien in Nes, the Reformed church from 1925, was completely converted into a theatre church. Concerts, lectures, theatre plays, conferences and debates take place here, as well as funeral services and weddings. The church has already hosted the international photo exhibition 'Nachtwacht360' and the Ids de Beer lecture, with well-known speakers such as Geert Mak and Mart de Kruijf. Under the leadership of programmer and director Anke Bijlsma – known as an actress and presenter – Theatre church Nes operates sustainably and without a profit motive. In 2017 Anke won the Culture Prize of Noardeast-Fryslân for her efforts in the field of art and culture in the region. The Wadopera 'Peter Grimes' by Benjamin Britten proved that the rough, primordial landscape of the Wadden Sea invites to devise and realize special open-air events. During the Noorderlicht Festival, you can see work in the church by German photographer Aristidis Schnelzer, with a series about the increasingly futuristic medical technology. In addition, the Belgian artist Frederik Heyman shows a video work about the tense relationship between man and technology.
