Schemeren

Put on some headphones and let Marjolijn van Heemstra take you to the world between light and dark, where everything can change though nothing appears to be happening. A story (in dutch) about the in-betweens and the invisible passers-by in our lives. 

Watching dusk fall can be an act of defiance. Against speed, blinding light, thinking in opposites, and the idea that everything has to yield something. For a mere hour, not producing nor consuming, not finding anything anywhere. Twilight. A tiny rite of passage as our planet rotates away from its giant sun.

About the Nacht-Wacht
Schemeren is part of the Nacht-Wacht, an investigation into the value of nighttime darkness in the most light-polluted country in the world. The extreme amount of artificial light in the Netherlands is unhealthy for people and animals, and it robs us of rest and recovery. Few Dutch people are still familiar with the beauty and importance of the night. The Nacht-Wacht aims to increase love for the nightly darkness. In the fall of 2023, their activities will come together in the first Amsterdam Dark Festival.

•     Tip: In the evening, after Schemeren, attend a performance of the Nieuwe Maan festival
