MATTHÄUS PASSION - NEW GENERATION REMIX (PROLOGUE)
2006
DVD, 13 min 42 sec
Music: Cowgum (Joost van Bellen / Richard Cameron)
'Matthäus Passion - New Generation Remix' is a contemporary dance remix of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion through both music and video by an impressive list of Dutch DJ/producers and VJ/artists, who were invited by VJ/artist Gerald Van Der Kaap and DJ Joost van Bellen. The 80-minute-remix has been performed live in clubs and venues throughout The Netherlands between 7 and 15 April 2006. People were able to watch the story unfold, before being invited to re-enact the drama of the Passion's crowd scene, choosing between Jesus and Barrabas.
It was the follow-up to 'Matthäus Passion - The Remix', the dadaïstic night organized by Van Der Kaap & Van Bellen at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on Maundy Thursday in 2003, an event that both suprised and shocked.
In the 2006 version Van Der Kaap & Van Bellen have teamed up again to remix the prologue. In the Gospel According to Kaap, Jesus is played by a 16-year-old girl named Sjaïesta. The Apostles are alternately boys ànd girls, played by schoolkids from Amsterdam-North. The classic austerity has been exchanged for an almost documentary setting. The texts are straight from the Gospel but have been freely rendered. The characters change identity like in a dream in which one person suddenly turns into another, e.g. Renaldas, the boy that Sjaïesta is in love with, who not only plays her alterego, but also 'the people' when he says: "Help yourself." Van Der Kaap: "In the opening of his St. Matthew Passion, Bach starts with Matthew 26 in which Jesus foretells that he will be crucified. In the prologue of our remix I decided to give a fragmentaric summary of the whole drama."
