00:00 A special performance tonight in the city of Schouwburg in Amsterdam.
00:09 A play with six herdershounds in the lead.
00:12 Willem Bemboom was at the world premiere.
00:15 Going to the Dogs.
00:17 It is once again something different than the public theater or the Dutch dance theater.
00:22 The performances, presented with a real program, were sold out immediately.
00:28 The audience pays 17.50 guilders for entry.
00:32 The composer of the dogs' play is Wim T. Schippers,
00:35 the spiritual father of Barend Servet and Sjef van Oekel.
00:40 Almost all European countries have an interest in television recordings.
00:47 Behind the screens, the dogs are kept moving with pieces of meat.
00:53 After having overcome some stables, it was finally time.
00:57 Only two performances were planned,
00:59 but because the audience came to the second performance on September 20,
01:03 in large numbers, an extra night performance was provided.
01:07 Many people were disappointed,
01:11 because a week before the premiere, no ticket was allowed.
01:16 To meet the dissatisfied desire to participate in the special event,
01:21 you can now watch and listen to a television recording of a number of parts of the performance.
01:27 Of course, it remains a missed opportunity if you have not really been there.
01:32 Because the images you get at the dance are to be seen as a report,
01:37 with which an artistic historical purpose is served.
