ANITA BERBER
(1899-1928)
O r c h i d e e n
Ich kam in einen Garten
Der Garten war voll von Orchideen
So voll so voll und schwer
Es blühte und lebte und bebte
Ich kam nicht durch die süßen Verschlingungen
Ich liebe sie so wahnsinnig
Für mich sind sie wie Frauen und Knaben –
Ich küsste und koste jede bis zum Schluss
Alle alle starben an meinen roten Lippen
an meinen Händen
an meiner Geschlechtslosigkeit
Die doch alle Geschlechter in sich hat
Ich bin blass wie Mondsilber

Vincent Berquez
My son, the disco dancer
He flicks movements in squealing happiness
and turns and falls over, laughs and squeaks,
squawks, stands and sits and strains and rolls,
and moves his little baby legs accidentally
as he leans into his bouncy, bendy self.
My infant son, the disco dancing prancer
parades and shifts his squidgy frame frantically
like a jaunty spring-loaded jittery jumping bean
and lands on his bum again.
And his happy head swigs the air and eyes dart
around his spinning frame, as he jigs for joy
and bounds, fly-falling onto his rump again,
quickly bouncing to stomp the beat of sound
looking up to me he demands more music.

Incubate, rijp en groen, hard en zacht
De namen variëerden van Filiosofische Stilte tot Frietboer, en van A Winged Victory for the Sullen tot Dead Rat Orchestra. De muziekgenres variëerden van apocalyptic folk tot indian classical music en van ambient tot noise. En dan hebben we het alleen nog over de tientallen groepen en individuele musici uit binnen- en buitenland die tijdens het afgelopen Incubate-festival in Tilburg te horen waren.
Natuurlijk, muziek is het hart van deze jaarlijkse ‘celebration of independent culture’. Maar kunst, film, theater en debat maken er ook deel van uit. En dat gelukkig in toenemende mate. Zo was er deze keer een grote tentoonstelling in de prachtige Koepelhal van de voormalige NS-Werkplaats ingericht onder de noemer ‘Open Source’. Heel democratisch, iedereen mocht werk insturen. Rijp en groen, prof en amateur door elkaar? Jazeker. Maar dat gold ook voor de muziek. En rijp hoefde geen garantie te zijn voor kwaliteit. Mooi trouwens dat overal in Tilburg, vooral in de binnenstad, grote fotoportretten hingen van moeders, na een oproep in de locale media ingestuurd door talloze vaders en kinderen. Want, hoe internationaal men ook wil zijn, ook op die manier probeerden de organisatoren – alle lof voor hen – zoveel mogelijk mensen uit Tilburg en omgeving bij het festival te betrekken.
En welke muziek vond ik nu het mooist? Laat ik zeggen dat ik genieten kan van de enorme contrasten tussen hard (soms té hard) en zacht, als je van de ene kroeg naar de andere concertzaal loopt. De serene, melancholische zang van het Servisch duo Mesta (begeleid door een toetsenist) in de Pauluskerk behoorde voor mij tot de hoogtepunten. Net zoals de muzikale hommage die de jazzmusici Trevor Watts en Veryan Weston in Paradox brachten aan hun vakbroeder, de onlangs overleden saxofonist Sean Bergin. De heren van Buzzcocks, muzikale slotact van het festival, konden me daarentegen maar matig boeien. Rijp? Overrijp!

Oh – der Sprung über den Schatten
Er quält dieser Schatten
Er martert dieser Schatten
Er frißt mich dieser Schatten
Was will dieser Schatten
