Solitaire has been nominated for the Stuttgarter Tanz- und Theaterpreis 2013, and toured in Germany May 3rd - 20th. Evelien composed the music for this solo danceperformance by Eva Baumann.

Produktionszentrum Tanz + Performance Stuttgart (D). Thanks to Jeroen Bouwhuis for prepared piano recordings.

Projected animations bring the drawings to life.

L.A. Raeven – Beyond the Image: music for documentary. Artists L.A. Raeven play around in the aroma factory, they carefully cover the floor of their studio with eggshells, and they synchronically dine, each hypnotized by the other’s eating speed. “We had the deal that we’d eat the exact same thing, otherwise it would be hopeless and one would want to lose more weight than the other”. The film follows the twins during a crucial period in which it gradually becomes clear that their relationship will have to change, because of individual choices. Art and life fight for precedence. Who will choose: work or reality, the individual or her twin sister? Direction: Lisa Boerstra, production: Viewpoint Productions, broadcaster: NTR.
.tibbaR (.nijnoK): music for short documentary. A stylized, backwards told story about an unusual rabbit factory. A farm in the countryside in Brabant. No sounds of chickens, no cows to be seen. It doesn’t smell. In long low sheds 20.000 white rabbits live. .tibbaR has been made in 2004 as part of the project ‘Every picture tells a story’ and has won several (inter)national prices including the Gouden Kalf at the Nederlands Filmfestival. Direction and script: Leo Wentink, producer: Armadillo.
