Glocal

The setting for modern life has increasingly become that of a post-global village. With all the means of communication and transportation available to us nowadays, location is not a limiting factor anymore. In fact, using the factor of location can even offer new possibilities in framing art by connecting local and global qualities. This is what the Glocal program is set up to do.

Last year folk band Wardruna played an amazing performance in Nature Theatre Oisterwijk. This year we will take things a bit further by not only using the Nature Theatre but also the rural surroundings of Tilburg and the province of Brabant to stage performances.

The Glocal-program will consist of four different projects. While in residency at the Incubate festival, Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche will collaborate on a new piece of video art. Material will be shot at biological farm ‘t Schop in Hilvarenbeek and in the surroundings of Tilburg. During the festival, the movie will be shown at the farm before a performance of Dan Deacon. Free folk guitarist Six Organs of Admittance will record a concept album about the so called ‘Mary-chapels’, which are little chapels in the landscape of Brabant. Dutch artist Jeroen Doorenweerd will present his new work “Ghost Performance”. Creating a virtual space with beamers, visitors can visit places and see performances they would never be able to see in real life. And last but not least Canadian psychedelic rock band Black Mountain will perform a unique show in the Nature Theatre in Oisterwijk this year. The countryside, together with the amphitheater and the surrounding lakes will suit the psychedelic music of Black Mountain perfectly.
