The Netherlands: art inspired by Russia — an event organised together with the Netherlands Institute in St Petersburg. Visitors to the island will have the opportunity to learn about Dutch literature, theatre, film and photographic works created by artists who were inspired by Russia. The programme includes: an interactive lecture with the director and documentary film-maker Andre Schreuders Daniil Harms in the Netherlands — a film about the literary and artistic avant-garde in Russia and the Netherlands; a lecture by photographer Pim Zwier on photography using the Prokudin-Gorsky colour-separation technique (the three-colour principle); the premier of the solo performance The (non-)random travelling companion based on the works of one of the Netherlands’ most intriguing writers, Toon Tellegen.Free admission
