Wanklank
Musical theatre

Exactly one century ago marks the death of the controversial philosopher Gerard Bolland, the founder of the fascist movement in The Netherlands. When the Second World War broke out, his last speech was even reprinted and redistributed. In 2033, the House of Representatives removed his bust – cancelled, if you will. As he should be. Or should he? Through a cinematic mix of jazz and classical music, WANKLANK explores the mind of this purposefully forgotten philosopher. Because we should try to relate to people we cannot understand. Right? Or should we not even want to understand someone like Gerard Bolland?
