Menna Laura Meijer, Nederland 2011, color, HDcam, 90'

As introduction to the Kyteman Orchestra concert, as of 6:00 pm, you can come see the documentary about Colin Benders (Kyteman)

Synopsis
"I've had a strange year", says Colin Benders alias Kyteman, frontman of the hip-hop orchestra bearing the same name that suddenly became famous in 2009. However, believing in the necessity of letting go, taking risks and the desire for innovation, he decided in that very same year that Kyteman would give his last concert in December. In Kyteman. Now What? director Menna Laura Meijer follows Benders in the year and a half subsequent to this enforced end, or new beginning... a period in which Benders struggles to rediscover his creative energy. The uncompromising young artist dares to think big but practical details sometimes get in the way. The young musician is remarkably open about his doubts and fears. We follow him during rehearsals and see how he gets along with his parents, who play an important role in his life. His mother is his emotional rock, his father is also his manager and a driving force in the realisation of Benders' dream: the creative playground Kytopia. A musical laboratory to which he wants to invite other "creative idiots" in order to reinvent the rules. Benders flourishes in the freedom he's allowed during a visit to Terschelling for Oerol. While an experimental concert project in the former broadcasting station Radio Klootwijk gets scrapped because he's told that they'll have to take into account the peace in the area around the building: "I don't keep to musical restrictions."
