Cathy de Haan | Moderator
Cathy loves film, music, and poetry. And instead of choosing one genre, she pursues them all: in front of and behind the camera, on and behind the stage, in the editing room and at the desk, in the recording studio, and in the cinema. From Bolivia to Uzbekistan, from Albania to Jordan, she instigates new perspectives on film, music and poetry, produces films as well as cultural events, and works as a director, curator, and musician.
Dream the Rest O.K. | Live Music
Progressive Singer-Songwriter with a ‘twist of noise.’ English, German, and Spanish lyrics meander through misty, lyrical landscapes, along edgy riffs, and across psychedelic sound fields sprinkled with effects and loops. Voice and guitar passionately test the boundaries of the genre in order to let it fall into the unknown. ‘Dream the Rest O.K.’s new, unexpected sounds flood your ears with colorful smoke and invite you to dream along.
