About this concert
Zangeres en taalkunstenaar Nynke Laverman trekt je met haar betoverende stem wondere werelden in en laat je ‘soul struck’ achter. Haar nieuwste voorstelling OAK is een magische muzikale trip, waarin ze je meevoert naar de ondergrondse jaarvergadering van de eiken op Terschelling. Ook benieuwd wat ze ons te vertellen hebben?
Dit jaar gebeurt er iets unieks in het Eikenbosje: voor het eerst mogen wij, mensen, de jaarvergadering van de eiken bijwonen. Via songs, spoken word en storytelling zullen Nynke Laverman en klankkunstenaar Sytze Pruiksma hun verhaal tot leven brengen in een bezield muzikaal landschap.
Met OAK bouwt Nynke verder op wat ze met haar vorige voorstelling Plant gezaaid heeft. In een buitentijds universum onderzoekt en spiegelt ze ons westerse wereldbeeld op een tedere, humorvolle manier. Met songs die zich als weidse klankwerelden uitstrekken, tunen Sytze en zij in op de omgeving en het moment. Met alle ruimte voor solerende vogels!

Nynke Laverman Biography
For more than 20 years now, Nynke Laverman has been creating adventurous, atmospheric music, in collaboration with composer/musician Sytze Pruiksma. In her poetic, meaningful lyrics, always full of substance, she combines her mother tongue, Frisian, with English. Her soulful voice, described by The Independent as ‘a leaf-blown shimmer of a voice’, draws you into wondrous worlds, always leaving you a little soul-struck.
She finds inspiration in cultures that live in harmony with their environment, like the Kazakh nomads in Mongolia, with whom she spends time. Their world view, in which all things are connected, has made her question her own western outlook, and this questioning has become a common theme in her work.
Nynke: ‘Through my music, I hope to conjure up a world in which people are able to listen to themselves better.’
In 2021 she releases Plant, a probing album, which the press hails as hypnotic, like a musical film in which you lose yourself. The spoken-word piece Your Ancestor makes its way across the world, a moving wake-up call that opens many hearts and gatherings. Plant tours theatres for two seasons, a visually overwhelming production that receives rave reviews.
At the moment Nynke’s latest production OAK is on its way. Using songs, spoken word and storytelling, she and Sytze weave an ingenious musical landscape, sometimes edgy and contemporary, sometimes with the mesmerising cadence of an ancient ritual.
