Exhibition

Dit najaar word je in de Kunsthal ondergedompeld in de wereld van de diva.

Feminiene creativiteit

De tentoonstelling DIVA viert de ongeëvenaarde kracht en de grenzeloze, feminiene creativiteit van iconische artiesten die met hun bravoure en ambitie de status quo hebben uitgedaagd. Aan de hand van ruim zestig looks en kostuumontwerpen van wereldberoemde designers, gedragen door onder meer Maria Callas, Josephine Baker, Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey, Cher, Elton John, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Björk en Billie Eilish, laat de tentoonstelling zien hoe deze diva’s met hun podiumkunsten grenzen verlegden en voor een blijvende impact in de samenleving zorgden.

Godinnen

DIVA neemt je mee in het universum van operagodinnen uit de negentiende eeuw tot aan de hedendaagse pop en rock ‘n roll cultuur van wereldwijde supersterren. De tentoonstelling zoomt in op de betekenis van de term diva, die oorspronkelijk godin betekent. In de loop der jaren is het begrip gekoesterd, afgestoten en weer opgeëist en omarmd door de performancecultuur, als status om trots op te zijn. Kostuums, designer looks, persoonlijke objecten, foto’s, video’s en een muzikale surround sound beleving leiden je rond door een meeslepend tentoonstellingsontwerp.

Van opera tot rock 'n roll

Het eerste deel van de tentoonstelling focust op de historische context van de diva. Zo werd de term in de 19e eeuw gebruikt om de uitzonderlijke, vrouwelijke operazangers te omschrijven. Persoonlijke items, handgeschreven teksten en klassieke kostuums van vroege operasterren zoals Adelina Patty en Jenny Lind zijn te bewonderen, en ook het indrukwekkende ensemble van La Divina Maria Callas uit de operaproductie Norma (1952) is te zien. Het tweede gedeelte viert de diva van vandaag. Hoogtepunten zijn onder andere kostuums van Cher, P!nk, Adele, Amy Winehouse en de beroemde flame dress van Tina Turner. DIVA toont hoe deze artiesten voortbouwen op de fundamenten van eerdere generaties en baanbrekend zijn geweest in een door mannen gedomineerde film- en muziekwereld.
