Strange news

The New European Ensemble presented Strange News. Strange News is a moving interdisciplinary work focusing on the lives and fates of child soldiers in our time. Ugandan actor Arthur Kisenyi told the story of a young child soldier, what he experiences, and his eventual return to a peaceful society.

This story is brought to life with poignant and multifaceted music by Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin. Film footage illustrates the African context of the narrative. Alongside Strange News, NEuE presents new work by The Hague-based composer Florentijn Boddendijk, inspired by the importance of international criminal law.
