Maar wat er ook gebeurt er klinkt muziek

But whatever happens, there is music (in Dutch:‘Maar wat er ook gebeurt er klinkt muziek’) is the chorus of Ischa Meijer’s song Winter toes, lice and eczema, the typhoid and cancer and the flu (in Dutch: ‘Wintertenen, luizen en eczeem, de tyfus en de kanker en de griep). It’s the favourite song of actress Olga Zuiderhoek.

It is also the name of Olga’s theatre performance about the music from her 20th century. She chose Gerard Bouwhuis for the music the performance is all about: Bartók, Antheil, Andriessen, Breuker, Gershwin, Johnny & Jones and, of course, Stravinsky. They let the dead play along: Gerard plays with Breuker, Olga sings with Ischa.
  
Total theatre on 5 square metres: text, music and images, often funny, sometimes furiously sad, but no matter what: there is music! Gerard plays and Olga tells why. ‘There were two world wars in the 20th century, I missed out on both of them, how lucky can you get.’
