The 74th Holland Festival, which continued throughout June, ended with the livestream of the music-theatre named TIME by the famous Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of the associate artists of this year's edition, on 27th June. TIME , a joint project of the Holland Festival - Amsterdam, deSingel - Antwerp and the International Manchester Festival, had its world premiere on 18th June at Gashouder-Westergas, which was converted from one of Amsterdam's old gasworks into a culture and events centre. © Sanne Peper A woman blows a flute-like instrument and walks slowly across the stage filled with ankle leveled water.
