The latest, still ongoing production by De Nieuwe Snaar differs slightly from what the quartet normally does. There is more silence, more testimony, and less routine. 'Courageous' is the word we use to describe it, but the De Smet brothers & co still had to get used to the new theatrical form. This DVD was recorded five months after the start of the tour, so everything runs smoothly. But above all, such a recording brings you much closer to the actors/singers. You can see the looks better, feel the songs better, admire the acrobatics up close. That's no small difference, because De Nieuwe Snaar is a dead honest company that values the art of storytelling, promotes craftsmanship, and after all these years still gets nervous when trying something new. The gentlemen regularly show themselves to be very vulnerable, such as when Jan De Smet sings a cappella about his father.
