Dynamite Barrel

Duration 75 min
Part of Sideways

You’re never too old 

Remember Tom and Jerry and Lucky Luke, with their wild antics and explosive adventures full of dynamite and gunpowder? They are the inspiration behind the powerful pieces you’ll hear and see from the New European Ensemble this evening. This Hague-based ensemble, made up of leading musicians from across Europe, transports you back to those magical childhood moments with Dynamite Barrel 

They bring this to life through works by composers who blend film and music, including Tjøgersen, Cendo, Black, Bailie, and the young Francis Battah from Québec. These pieces evoke personal memories of childhood wonder that can easily get lost in the rush of everyday life but are oh-so inspiring. Get ready to be blown away!

The New European Ensemble (NEuE) brings stories to life through the expressive power of contemporary music. Stories that reflect, question, inspire, and deepen our understanding of the human experience and the world. 

The ensemble’s mission is to present contemporary and twentieth-century repertoire in a compelling and accessible way. To achieve this, NEuE often combines music with film, literature, theatre, dance, and visual arts. NEuE has worked with various partners, including Edward Snowden, Boris van der Ham, Nick Verstand, DeFrame, Opera2Day, Het Nationale Theater, Amnesty International, the International Criminal Court, and War Child.
